WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Twist is a new rock musical by Gila Sand, with music by the Scissor Sisters' songwriter Paul Leschen. It casts a spell of luscious drag, scintillating S & M, twisted humor, delicious candy and other addictive treats. In this fantasy of Victorian England, Dickens' orphan has grown into an attractive young man with a taste for trouble, caned at the Workhouse, strait jacketed at the Undertakers, and picked up on the street by a wolfish Artful Dodger, portrayed by Brian Charles Rooney ('Lucy Brown' in the 2006 Broadway revival of The Threepenny Opera), who brings Twist home to a decidedly different Fagin than ever seen before.
The score of 14 new songs is performed by Paul Leschen & band, live at the Kraine Theater at the following dates and times:
Dec 13 & 14 10:30 pm
Dec 20 & 21 10:30 pm

Bondage, drag queens, shoe fetishists -- this isn't your grandfather's Oliver Twist! The new musical Twist: Please, Sir, May I Have Some More? puts a queer spin on the Charles Dickens' classic. The result is sexy and often amusing, but also somewhat flawed. Moreover, if you're looking for a meaningful exploration of the themes in Dickens' work, you probably won't find it here.
Featuring a book, lyrics, and direction by Gila Sand, with music by Paul Leschen, this irreverent show depicts young Oliver (Reymundo Santiago) -- most often referred to as "Twist" -- as a young man with a taste for bondage and whippings. He's actually somewhat happy at Mr. Bumble's Home for Unfortunate Boys, as he [...]
