Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier (2013)
Best musical ever
I think this is one of the best musicals ever created by starkid, possibly of all time.
The music is perfect for the plot and a great parody of disney music, and is a good as any disney music.
The casting choice is amazing with all the actors showing 110% effort. Listening to dylan Saunders sing is like someone is pouring honey in your ear. The harmonies and polyrhythms in many of the songs are beautiful and are written very well.
The way they managed to turn the plot of aladdin around to be in jafars favour and actually manage to make you like Jafar and feel sympathy for him. Plus the character arc of the princess is amazing as she actually got sort of what she wanted in the aladdin movie, with the not being tied down with suitors and being able to help poorer people.
I think it's so smart how they blow up a character like Ahmed and put his plot in the spotlight as that is so much more accurate than what happened in the movie.
