JB Lacroix/ WireImageCarly Rae Jepsen is fulfilling a lot of dreams lately, from opening for Katy Perry on tour to voicing a character in her first feature film, Leap! But there’s one dream she’s still hoping to make a reality.
The singer tells W Magazine it’s her “secret dream” to write a musical.
“I have a big desire to one day like rent a cabin in the woods with some of my favorite creators and get into the music behind some sort of theatrical project,” Carly Rae says. “I think it would be a blast.”
Carly Rae has previously starred in Cinderella on Broadway and also had a role in Grease Live! for TV. So will she write a stage musical, or tackle a musical film project?
“You know, that part I don’t know the answer to, but the gut reaction — I’d say stage would be fun,” says Carly Rae, “just because I kind of grew up in little theater productions and there’s something about the exclusivity of being in that room and that moment that I think is just magical.”
For now, Carly Rae’s getting her movie fix by voicing a maid who becomes a mentor to a young ballerina in the film Leap! out this Friday.
“Maybe it’s the theatrical side of me that doesn’t understand any human being who wouldn’t want to play an animated character,” she says. “It’s been a dream of mine, forever, I think since I saw My Little Pony.”
Carly Rae also has two songs on the movie’s soundtrack: “Cut to the Feeling” and “Runaways.”
