CinderElla Revamped Memories

Something Struck Me... and it wasn't Deepa...

Ok. From the title u obviously know  it's JET talking here.


I was just thinking about the play, when I realized something. I don't know if you guys thought of this or what.

If you remember the traditional Cinderella story, it goes like this:

1. She is depressed.
2. Fairy godmother helps her
3. She goes to a ball
4. She dances with the Prince
5. She needs to get back home on time
6. She 'loses' something (Glass Slipper)
7. Prince finds it and uses it to look for her
8. Finds her and Marries her.

Now...to the obvious problem. 

Other than the fact that Ella gets Eric, and she is depressed, the other elements have not appeared in the story. Of course, the acts are still not finished, but I felt it was better to say this earlier before its too late...Just in case.

My Idea:

After meeting Bling and the rest, they start to practise for this big party (I think we discussed this...OMG! Am i retarded? Dont answer) They crash the 'party night' and impress everyone. Ella catches everyone's eye, especially Eric's. She has a signature move that wins impresses everyone and ticks off Bianca (Sorry Shanty... looks like you have to create signature moves!) But its going to be late so she leaves asap... She's wearing a mask so no one knows who she is... Then Eric decides to find out who she is... He looks for her all over the school. Meanwhile, Bianca or wateva decides to pose as the mysterious dancer to attract Eric. She succeeds, although Eric is somewhat unconvinced that she is the mysterious dancer (But wouldnt Bianca be at the Ball with Eric?? Maybe Rihana or someone else. ). One day, he finds her practising in the basement or wateva... He confronts her. She tells him for being a 'preppy-goody-two-shoes' . He retaliates by challenging her to a dance off rite there and then, where he NEARLY defeats her. He then invites her to dinner (maybe a bet they had) where he proceeds to tell her that he has been secretly practising hip hop for years but was too controlled to show it. There is a big prom night coming and they decide to crash it to show the sch that hip hop is also a respectable art form. They start pratising...meanwhile Bianca plots to seperate Eric and Ella, who have been seeing each other a lot although they are not dating. On the big night, Ella's stepmom, under orders from her daughter, ground Ella. As she is sitting in her room crying, her god parents arrive to tell her that (blah blah! add emotional speech here) She leaves to find her crew who are lazing around their hangout, then she rushes off to the prom night where a final showdown btw Bianca and Ella's crew ensue! Bianca uses Ella's signature move and when it seems all hope is lost, Ella performs some crazy stunt that wins them the best crew award or wateva.


Notice that my idea includes elements from Cinderella story, Step up 2, Stomp the yard and some other films. Not original...I know.

 And also, the fairy godparents don't appear often so find a way to put them in. Maybe the fairies disguise themselves as humans so that they can mingle with ella and her crew.

This is a 1 1/2 hr play so I guess this should be long enough.

Comment pls... And why is it that only me, Saras...and Nathan are the only ppl active here??
