“Dee Snider’s Rock & Roll Christmas Tale”, starring and written by the iconic TWISTED SISTER rocker, directed by Adam John Hunter and produced by John B. Yonover, which debuted in Chicago last November, will make its way to Toronto, Ontario, Canada later this year.

 

“Dee Snider’s Rock & Roll Christmas Tale” tells the story of DÄISY CÜTTER, a heavy metal bar band looking to make it big even though the ’80s are long over. This year, these four guys are ready to take the ultimate step and, in mythic rock tradition, sell their souls to the devil in exchange for success beyond their wildest metal dreams! But every time they try to seal the infernal pact, their headbanging anthems turn into warm-hearted carols. Soon these rockers are forced to realize their dreams of stardom are no match for the Christmas spirit.

Snider, who appears in the show as both the narrator and exorcist, says: “It’s about a band that has a dream and is giving it everything they’ve got for that dream, and also recognizing that sometimes we overlook all the great things we have in our life.

“Dee Snider’s Rock & Roll Christmas Tale” had a two-month run last year at the Broadway Playhouse in Chicago.

Snider told Time Out Chicago that many younger audience members are more familiar with him for his turns on many reality shows than for his wild TWISTED SISTER stage persona.

“I’ve become less of a rock and roll star and more of a celebrity based on reality TV,” he said. “Or maybe a rock and roll celebrity. Although, once they tap into what I’ve done, it’s, ‘Oh, that’s the ‘We’re Not Gonna Take It’ guy?’ Those songs have sort of transcended.
