Vanessa Hudgens Wanted to Do Broadway Since She Was 15

Vanessa Hudgens cuddles with her cute dog Darla while stopping by Murray’s Cheese Shop for a bite to eat on Sunday afternoon (March 15) in New York City.

The 26-year-old actress, who is in town rehearsing for her role in Broadway’s “Gigi,” then met up with her sister Stella.

“Broadway was always on my bucket list,” she told the Daily News. “One of my best friends made me put a list together when I was 15 and Broadway was at the very top of the list.”

Vanessa added, “I’ve always loved doing musicals, and my past experiences have definitely helped prep me for this. But this is unlike anything I’ve ever done.”

FYI: Vanessa is wearing a Lovers + Friends coat.
