Jepsen will step into the role from 4th February for a limited 12-week run. Jepsen began performing in musical theatre at high school, she starred in productions such as Annie, The Wiz and Grease before attending the Canadian College of Performing Arts.

Canadian singer/songwriter Jepsen has taken America by storm after bursting onto the scene in the US with her hit single "Call Me Maybe." The song, which she co-wrote, quickly rose to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart where it remained for nine consecutive weeks.
