toursenlair Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I'm sure we've all seen the heart-tugging clickbait titles on Upworthy. ("Watch This Guy Misspell 'Father' At A Spelling Bee For A Beautiful Reason" etc.). This site has just done a hilarious job of "upworthifying" classic literature titles: http://www.themillions.com/2014/01/read-me-please-book-titles-rewritten-to-get-more-clicks.html I think it would be fun to do the same with ballet titles. Here we go: An arrogant aristocrat rejects this innocent country girl. See how she gets her revenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thecatsmother Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I do know someone who could shorten every ballet into one act by just making a subtle change to plot. Sleeping beauty-'just invite Carabosse to the christening'. Simple really:) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
