October Ensemble presents "TWISTED: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier"

originally published: 09/30/2024


(OCEAN GROVE, NJ) -- October Ensemble presents TWISTED: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier across two weekends (October 18-20 and October 25-27, 2024) at the Jersey Shore Arts Center's Café Theatre. Hop on your flying carpet, because this musical parody retells the classic tale of Aladdin... from the villain’s point of view! This is an R Rated "Magical Kingdom" musical parody!

Long ago in a Magic Kingdom, one misunderstood Royal Vizier will go on a quest to save his city from its bumbling sultan, an invading prince, and the most notorious thief to ever live! With the help of the Kingdom’s free-spirited, teenage Princess, the Vizier must find a magical lamp containing a wish-granting Djinn (who’s really funny, by the way) and defeat the city’s most-wanted criminal… Aladdin! This musical adventure celebrates and lovingly pokes fun at everyone’s favorite series of hand-drawn, animated films.

Performances take place Friday, October 18th at 7:00pm; Saturday, October 19th at 2:00pm & 7:00pm; Sunday, October 20th at 5:00pm; Friday, October 25th at 7:00pm; Saturday, October 26th at 2:00pm & 7:00pm; and Sunday, October 27th at 5:00pm.
