Twisted: The Untold Story of the Royal Vizier

Originally produced by the geniuses at StarKid Productions

Marie Clark Musical Theatre Company

SEASON: 15th - 23rd of November

This episode of For the Love of Theatre Podcast features interviews with Cast Members, Sash Elliott (The Princess) Ben Todd (Ja'Far), Axel Moen (Aladdin), Darcie Yelland (Ensemble) and Director, Kristian Latella, of Twisted: The Untold Story of the Royal Vizier.

Show Synopsis:

Originally produced by StarKid Productions and written in the style of Wicked, Twisted cleverly re-tells the classic Disney movie, Aladdin, but from the perspective of the villain...

Ja’far is a hardworking, honest politician in a magic kingdom that has fallen on hard times. Corruption is rampant on all levels, crime is up (thanks to the efforts of that thief, Aladdin!) and the kingdom is on the verge of bankruptcy. When the naive princess angers the prince of the Kingdom of Pik-zahr, Ja’far remembers a tale told to him by his deceased wife – that of an all-powerful Djinn, hidden in a common lamp. To save the kingdom from certain destruction and ensure a happy ending for all, Ja’far must do everything he can to get his hands on that lamp, even when the road gets a little... twisted!

Content advice. While Twisted is a cheeky homage to Disney, this production contains strong language, sexual references and adult themes. Recommended only for mature audiences.
