Bad Cinderella vs The Heist at the Ball.pptxmijilata
This powerpoint summarizes and compares the book The Heist at the Ball by J.M. Knight and the musical Bad Cinderella by Andrew Lloyd webber. version 1 since I will probably have to redo it later
Bad Cinderella is a 2021 musical that ran on Broadway for 12 months and abruptly shut down. ALW actually had a little controversy at the end because hd didn't show up to the last show and instead wrote a letter for the stars to read after taking their bows. The show received mostly bad reviews,
similar to The Heist at the Ball by J.M. Knight, which is a book very similar about a boy who wants to rob a castle and make money for his girl. It's also a cinderella story but instead of her being the main character it's her love interest. There was bad reception for this too. Thought it would be funny to compare.
