Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.85.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:48, 22 February 2026.

((Short description|1975 sketch on The Carol Burnett Show))
((refimprove|date=July 2020))

'''"Cinderella Gets It On!"''' is a [[Musical theatre|musical]] [[comedy sketch]] featured on the 12th episode of the 9th season<ref>((Citation|title=Episode #9.12|url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0536677/|access-date=2020-07-12))</ref> of ''[[The Carol Burnett Show]]''. It originally aired in the United States on [[CBS]] on November 29, 1975, and is an adaptation of [[Charles Perrault]]'s folk tale [[Cinderella]] that is set in the [[1970s|1970s disco era]]. The sketch was written by Gary Belkin and Roger Beatty and featured music composed by [[Arthur Malvin]]. The sketch was directed by [[Dave Powers (director)|Dave Powers]].

== Cast ==

* [[Carol Burnett]] as [[Cinderella (Disney character)|Cinderella]] 
* [[Tim Conway]] as Elfin John, a parody of [[Elton John]]
* [[Vicki Lawrence]] as Cinderella's Stepmother
* [[Harvey Korman]] as Cinderella's [[List_of_The_Carol_Burnett_Show_characters_and_sketches#Mother_Marcus|Fairy Godmother Marcus]]
* [[June Pointer|June]], [[Anita Pointer|Anita]], and [[Ruth Pointer|Ruth]] [[The Pointer Sisters|Pointer]] as Cinderella's Stepsisters
* Ernie Anderson as the Narrator and TV Broadcaster

== Plot outline ==
[[Carol Burnett]] introduces the sketch saying: "The story of Cinderella has taken many forms. It's been a [[Cinderella (1950 film)|motion picture]] by [[Walt Disney]], an opera by [[Gioachino Rossini|Rossini]], and a TV [[Cinderella (Rodgers and Hammerstein musical)|musical]] by [[Rodgers and Hammerstein]]. Well, tonight, we'd like to bring you our version of Cinderella: Cinderella Gets It On!"<ref>((cite web |title=Cinderella Gets It On From The Carol Burnett Show (full sketch) |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYFprizVGh0 |website=YouTube |publisher=The Carol Burnett Show Official |accessdate=5 November 2020))</ref>

A title card for the first act reads '''PLAYBILL''' and '''CINDERELLA GETS IT ON''' under it in the style of a [[Programme (booklet)|Playbill]] as a boogie tune begins. It cuts to another card with a cutout video of the stage. The words read '''SCENE 1''' and '''THE PAD''' under it. A Narrator introduces the audience into the magical land of the [[Sunset Strip]] where Cinderella's "groovy" stepmother and three "funky" stepsisters are singing together in their pad ("When You Got Soul"). The same Narrator then introduces Cinderella, a "square chick" who cleans and cooks for her stepfamily. She announces that she has been waiting for eighteen hours to get four tickets to Elfin John's [[disco]] [[rock concert]] that evening. Before Cinderella can get one, though, her step-family snatches all four tickets from her. Her step-family then begins to get ready for the concert, making Cinderella do various tasks to help them, while pointing out that she is square and boring ("Dancing At The Disco Tonight"). They leave for the concert and Cinderella is left alone to clean the house. After accidentally sitting on a hand mirror, she begins to wish for a better life ("I Wish"). After hearing someone echo her calls, her Fairy Godmother Marcus magically appears and announces that she is here to make "a miracle" happen for her. She wishes to be a rock superstar and she promises to grant it for her ("If You Wish It"). She creates a [[Japan|Japanese motorcycle]] for her using two [[Record label|forty-fives]] and a [[pumpernickel]] loaf and also makes a new glamorous outfit for her to wear to the rock concert. She tells her that the magic ends at [[noon]] the following day. Cinderella hugs her, and they leave for the concert. A title card reads '''TO BE CONTINUED'''.

The scene opens at the start of the rock concert where couples are boogieing to an instrumental version of "When You Got Soul." Cinderella's step-family enters and find dance partners as Elfin John enters the stage and plays the piano with his platform boots ("Dancing At The Disco Tonight (Instrumental)") before throwing the piano bench offstage. He then announces that he will be playing one of his songs "She's Yellow And Built Like A Brick Road." Cinderella enters the party and all eyes turn to her. Her three stepsisters, not realizing it's her, whisper to each other about how cool she looks ("I'm Wishing (Reprise)"). Cinderella's Stepmother goes to get Elfin John's autograph but accidentally rips her dress. Cinderella goes to mend it but is stopped by her Stepmother, asking "What are you doing down there, superstar?" She quickly makes up that she was getting ready to do the new dance, the "Shlump." Elfin John comes over, asking why no one has been listening to his music, then sees Cinderella. She panics, trying to make up the dance, but is saved by Fairy Godmother Marcus, who quickly makes up a dance for everyone to follow ("The Shlump"). They dance until noon when suddenly, Cinderella runs off, leaving her platform heel for him to find her. Back at the pad the next day, Cinderella is back to her square self again, and her step-family are icing their feet from dancing. They are interrupted by a TV newsflash telling them that Elfin John is going around all the houses to find the superstar from the previous night. He shows up at their pad and all four members of Cinderella's step-family try on the shoe, but there is no luck. And although everybody laughs at her, Cinderella goes to try on the shoe ("Ooh, Cinderella"). They suddenly realize that she was the girl from the previous night, but Elfin John is no longer interested. Once again, her Fairy Godmother Marcus saves the day by giving Cinderella a "square" version of Elfin John. Cinderella kisses him as her step-family give her all their funky accessories and do the Shlump ("When You Got Soul (Reprise)").

== Cultural references ==
Fairy Godmother Marcus is a stereotype of a [[Jewish mother]] noted by speaking with an accent, wearing costume jewelry, and not looking like the average "fairy godmother" type. "She's Yellow And She's Built Like A Brick Road" is a parody title of Elton John's song "[[Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (song)|Goodbye Yellow Brick Road]]." [[Bob Mackie]], costume designer for the sketch, also used several ideas from iconic Elton John outfits for the fictional Elfin John.
