Nickelodeon UK has announced and revealed to NickALive! that Nickelodeon UK will premiere and show the brand new Nickelodeon original television movie "Rags", which stars Nickelodeon Stars Max Schneider ("How To Rock"), Keke Palmer ("True Jackson, VP", "Winx Club: The Secret of the Lost Kingdom"), Drake Bell ("The Amanda Show", "Drake & Josh"), Avan Jogia ("Victorious") and Nick Cannon ("All That", "The Nick Cannon Show", and the Chairman of 'TeenNick'), and the Canadian actor and Disc-jockey (DJ) Zak Santiago (The N's "The Assistants"), on Nickelodeon UK and Ireland and Nickelodeon HD UK in September 2012!
Nickelodeon's brand new original television movie "Rags", a musical gender inversion of the classic "Cinderella" story, follows the story of Charlie Prince, an orphan living in New York City with his acerbic and unloving stepfather and spoiled, simple-minded stepbrothers Andrew and Lloyd (House of Anubis' Burkely Duffield). Charlie's dream is to be a singer, and while he is vocally talented and can write music, he can't seem to catch a break. Kadee Worth, on the other hand, is the daughter of music mogul Reginald Worth (Isaiah Mustafa) and is an international pop phenomenon. While the world knows her as a glamorous superstar, she is secretly frustrated with singing other people's songs and wearing clothes other people choose for her. Kadee wants the world to hear and see her true talent. Despite every obstacle that gets thrown in their way, once Charlie and Kadee find one another, they each finally get what they have been looking for – a voice, a stage, an audience and each other. The movie also stars Drake Bell (Drake and Josh) as Shawn, a sound engineer helping to further Charlie's singing career and Avan Jogia (Victorious) as Finn, a celebrity who is in an arranged relationship with Kadee for publicity.
