Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier is an Aladdin parody musical by StarKid Productions. It was written by Matt Lang, Nick Lang, and Eric Kahn Gale; music by A.J. Holmes and lyrics by Kaley McMahon.[1] It was performed at the Greenhouse Theatre in Chicago, IL on July 4–28, 2013, and was released to YouTube on November 28, 2013.[2]
Twisted is a parody of the Disney film Aladdin, told in the style of the musical Wicked, e.g., from the villain Ja'far’s perspective. It briefly pays homage to a number of other classic Disney movies during the song "Twisted", when several other Disney villains like Ursula, Gaston, and Scar join Ja'far on stage.
The show runs approximately 134 minutes over 12 videos and features 14 original songs.
See the official Wikipedia page for full synopsis and credits.[1]
