The Plot:
Rags follows the story of Charlie Prince (Max Schneider), 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 (Keke Palmer), 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.
“Rags is a fresh take on a classic story and delivers a relevant message about finding your true voice,” states Marjorie Cohn, Nickelodeon’s President, Development and Original Programming. “The movie features two super-engaging stars in Keke and Max, and memorable, original songs by one of today’s most prolific producers.”
“It was an amazing experience bringing my vision to life for Nickelodeon and working alongside such talented people,” added Executive Producer Nick Cannon. “Viewers will love this reinvented tale about overcoming adversity and following your dreams.”
The soundtrack to Rags featuring nine tunes from the movie plus three bonus songs will be released on May 22nd.
