www.bluemangotheatre.com SPINDERELLA– SYNOPSIS & TEACHER’S NOTES SYNOPSIS Spinderella is a modern musical version of Cinderella. Cindy lives with her sister Becky. Becky is very bossy and makes Cindy do all the housework. Cindy has always dreamed of being a famous pop star, and singing on TV. Her sister Becky is going to sing on the The Karaoke TV Show, even though she is a terrible singer. Cindy would love to go too but Becky won’t let her. Just as she thinks there is no hope her fairy godfather “The Karaoke King” appears and, by magic she is transformed, and taken to the TV studio. It looks like her dreams might come true. On the show both sisters sing. Becky is terrible and Cindy wins the competition, then, the clock strikes 12 and the magic no longer works. Cindy has to run home. The next day there is a knock at the door. It’s DJ Dave looking for the girl who won the competition. Will he find her? Will Cindy become a famous pop star?
