Cindy Sander, Thierry Mugler’s new star | M6 | 66 minutes

She was the laughing stock of reality TV. Today she is the star of the second most expensive show in the world, with a production budget of over 10 million Euros. Cindy still can’t get over this success, still so fresh to her on the largest stage in the world! Six years ago, when she was a contestant on Nouvelle Star, the judges made fun of her voice and her dated style. Humiliated, she was a constant target on social media of the time. She then took part in some TV reality shows of dubious taste, and continued to sing. Ridicule was heaped on her and gradually Cindy watched her dream slip away… Until the day she received an unexpected mail. Thierry Mugler, the famous fashion designer and producer, offers her a singing role in his next musical in Berlin, if she agrees to all the sacrifices he demands of her. Over three years, he gives her a make-over, gets her to shed 40 kilos and imposes a frantic rhythm on her, with over 13 hours work per day: sports coach, singing lessons, deportment, interpretation, makeup tests, hairstyling, etc. Cindy is unrecognizable. We accompany this young 36-year-old mother with the Lady Gaga look during her training, backstage at the show and we also film her with her family, with her husband and her little boy, who moved to Berlin to be with her. She will be singing there until 2017.
