"We're excited to bring this rocking new family holiday musical, DEE SNIDER'S ROCK & ROLL CHRISTMAS TALE, to the Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place and showcase Chicago's own talent," says producer John Yonover, himself a Chicagoan.
DEE SNIDER'S ROCK & 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. Dee Snider, infamous lead singer of Twisted Sister, has created a VERY funny, VERY rocking and (sshhh!) VERY sweet new holiday musical, guaranteed to rock your whole family's holiday and twist your Christmas.
Guitars for DEE SNIDER'S ROCK & ROLL CHRISTMAS TALE are supplied exclusively by ESP Guitars. The show is proud to be sponsored by Wintrust Bank, Northwest Comprehensive, Paris Club, Studio Paris, and The Original Pancake House.
