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.
