The performances for “Twisted” will take place on the evenings of Jan. 16-18. The idea for a student-run production was brought to life by junior Andrew Duke, who will direct the show.

The cast list for “Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier” has been released. This Disney musical is a comedy spoof based off of “Aladdin,” but instead of following the story of the familiar hero, it tells the backstory of Ja’Far, the villain from the original tale. The performances on Jan. 16-18 will feature the Chamber Singers and serve as a fundraiser for their program.
