Starvox Entertainment announced yesterday that iconic rocker Dee Snider is coming to Toronto with a rocking new musical this holiday season. Written by and starring the infamous Twisted Sister frontman, Dee Snider's Rock and Roll Christmas Tale is directed by Adam John Hunter. Produced by John Yonover and Revonoy Productions and presented by Corey Ross and Starvox Entertainment the musical is on stage at the Winter Garden Theatre (189 Yonge St) Nov. 17, 2015 running through the holidays.

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.

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! After premiering in Chicago last year, Toronto audiences will have the chance to see Snider alongside a new cast and experience never before seen scenes. Casting and further details to be announced.

Dee Snider is best known as the lead vocalist and front man for legendary rock/metal band Twisted Sister. The band has released six studio albums, six live albums and their hugely successful 2006 holiday record, A Twisted Christmas (Razor & Tie). 1984's Stay Hungry produced the classic singles "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock." Dee Snider has been a mainstay in pop culture, appearing as a commentator on several VH1 productions, as well as his own A&E reality show "Growing Up Twisted" and ABC's "Celebrity Wife Swap."
