why you should watch twisted: the untold story of a royal vizier
it’s by the same people who did a very potter musical, so you know it’s good
it’s available for free on youtube, and the soundtrack isn’t very expensive, either
it gives the wicked treatment to jafar from aladdin
(or ja’far, to get around copyright issues)
(actually a lot of the ways they get around copyright in this show are really funny)
“and may the rats ejaculate upon you”
the titular song literally gave me chills
“why is everyone in the kingdom white????”
really really good costuming and sets
TIGER FUCKER TIGER FUCKER TIGER FUCKER
there’s a song called “orphaned at 33″ and it’s fucking hilarious
the guy who plays aladdin is amazingly charming yet punchable at the same time
poking fun at a lot of disney’s urban legends
the bad guys are from the kingdom Pik-zhar
“what’s that name, everyone?” “TIGER FUCKER!” “no!”
a genuinely touching and compelling love story told over the course of one song
a subplot that manages to make a surprisingly well-put point about consent and sex =/= love
“all this for a loaf of bread” (just wait until you hear it….)
“I noticed you weren’t at dinner, but I saw you try to poison my wine! Usually when you do that it means you want to talk, so what’s up, are you mad at me?”
please just watch it because in my opinion it deserves just as much attention as a very potter musical
