Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier

This is not only the funniest musical I have ever seen, it also has very good characters and emotional moments. Not only did "I steal everything" have me on the floor, but "1001 nights" was a beautiful love song too. I would recommend this to everyone and I have.

Everything about this musical is phenomenal. From the characters, music, comedy, and everything else. My favourite part was the prince achmeds joke and my favourite songs are all of them (I couldn't rate my favourite song because it's that good). Jafar and Aladdin were such a dynamic duo because of how much they hate each other. This is better than wicked and Aladdin combined. If you are a Disney fan and want to kill 2 hours, watch this. And if you love this musical check out the guy who didn't like musicals, vhs christmas carol, a very potter musical, sequel and senior year. Starkid please bring this back.

Starkid proves once again why they are one of the best theater companies of the 2010's. With a cast of amazing talent, writing that will leave you laughing non-stop, music that is beyond catchy, and so much more. If you want to kill two hours of time, do it with Twisted.

I was genuinely not expecting to love this as much as I did. I'm an enjoyer of musical comedies, but this really exceeded my expectations. It has amazing comedy while also still having heart and a story that you get genuinely invested in. The songs are memorable, the characters are hilarious, and I will definitely check out more of starkids shows after this. If you haven't seen it already, definitely give it a watch. The use of parody and references to the original work is done incredibly well, and even if you've never seen the original Aladdin this would still be a great time. The cast is great and I genuinely got really invested in the story. 10/10.

I started watching starkid with their harry potter spoof, A very potter musical, which I thought very highly of and thoroughly enjoyed. I then went on to twisted one evening and was immediately struck by its innate wit and great writing.

To start off with, the music is fantastic, from more upbeat numbers such as 'I steal everything' and 'take off your clothes'(both sung by the powerhouse Jeff Blim) to more deep and emotional numbers like 'Twisted', 'Happy Ending' and 'A thousand and one nights'. It incorporates elements of disney's song writing with starkid's intelligence.

The story is also riveting, being way better than the original aladdin in my opinion. All the characters are so well developed and provide so much comedy throughout the show.

Starkid also deliver yet again with their acting talent. With a phenomenal performance from Dylan Saunders as Ja'Far, to Jeff Blim's menacing Aladdin and Rachael Soglin's brilliant portrayal of the princess. And, of course, I can't say enough about Joe Walker's characters, especially the incredibly memorable prince achmed.

And, as if the cast, music and story wasn't enough, the comedy delivers on every front. From recurring jokes(some involving a tiger) to the Djinn at the tail end of the show, it kept me on the floor from start to finish.

Overall, one of my favourite musicals of all time and not only better than its source material but also better than Wicked, which many may compare it to.

Score:10/10.
