Toronto, ON – Starvox Entertainment announced today tickets are now available for rock ‘n’ roll legend Dee Snider‘s new musical, Dee Snider’s Rock and Roll Christmas Tale, onstage at the Winter Garden Theatre (189 Yonge St) beginning Nov. 17, 2015 and running throughout the holidays until Jan. 3, 2016. Written by and starring the iconic Twisted Sister frontman, the show is directed by Adam John Hunter and choreographed by Shannon Lewis, and is being produced for Toronto by John Yonover/ Revonoy Productions and Starvox Entertainment.
Dee Snider’s Rock and 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 head-banging anthems turn into warm-hearted carols. Soon these rockers are forced to realize their dreams of stardom are no match for the Christmas spirit.
After premiering in Chicago last year, Toronto audiences will have the chance to see Snider alongside a new all-Canadian cast and experience never before seen scenes. Snider has created a holiday show like no other: it’s a funny and surprisingly sweet new holiday musical, guaranteed to rock your whole family’s holiday and twist your Christmas! Casting for the show’s other twelve roles will be announced shortly.
