Dee Snider's Rock & Roll Christmas Tale (Chicago)

DEE SNIDER’S ROCK & ROLL CHRISTMAS TALE tells the story of Däisy Cütter, a heavy metal bar band looking to make it big even though the 80s are LONG over. This year, these four guys are ready to take the ultimate step and, in mythic rock tradition, sell their souls to the devil in exchange for success beyond their wildest metal dreams! But every time they try to seal the infernal pact, their head-banging anthems turn into warm-hearted carols. Soon these rockers are forced to realize their dreams of stardom are no match for the Christmas spirit. Dee Snider, infamous lead singer of Twisted Sister, has created and stars in a VERY funny, VERY rocking and (sshhh!) VERY sweet new holiday musical, guaranteed to rock your holiday.

My husband and I went to the show on NYE, which also happens to be our anniversary. The show was so good! Good storyline, funny, warm and the actors were amazing as well as great musicians! We splurged and bought the meet and greet tickets and we were able to meet Dee Snider and get his autograph. Being teenagers in the 80's, we both were a little star-stuck when meeting Dee. Very nice man, very down-to-earth! Worth the splurge!

An entertaining rock and roll Christmas Show, with excellent musicians and singers. Also pretty girls, which always helps. Dee Snider was also very charming and had a great finale.

This was, hands down, the worst live musical I have ever seen. The plot was weak at best and the music hardly showcased the talent on stage. Not only were there several instances of botches lines by Mr. Snider, but the entire production was hardly worthy of the hefty ticket price. My opinion, save your money and avoid a waste of a beautiful night in Chicago like we did.

3or 4 songs played during the entire show. It was heavy metal not Rock and Roll music

This was one of the worst live performances we have ever seen. Not only were the lines botched frequently, however even if they said everything flawlessly the plot was incredibly stupid. None of the songs showcased the talent onstage and frankly I would have rather left early and got my money back if possible. What a complete waste of a beautiful night in Chicago. My advice: spare yourself and do NOT attend this show. It's crap.

Laced with subtle humor and wit. This fun holiday rock anthem is well timed for the Christmas season. With familiar music from Twisted Sister this show will definitely take you back to the big hair days of the 80's. Dee Snider's Rock & Roll Christmas Tale is a show that is fun for the whole family. Definitely worth seeing.

We purchased the meet & greet tickets. After the show, Dee Snider walks out to your seats and chats with you for a bit. They take pics of you (with your camera) with Dee & he will sign your playbill, your VIP pass, or anything else you have with you. The show was fantastic! Dee has put together a great show!! It was laugh out loud funny, touching, and it ROCKS! There were all ages in the audience...from young, to old & it appealed to ALL!

Such a fun show! You don't have to be a Twisted Sister fan or child of the 80s, but If you are, you'll laugh at the extras Snyder wove into the musical. So glad we spent our Christmas Eve afternoon enjoying rock n roll carols with the cast! Definitely recommend!

This was one of the surprises of my life. I do not actually like Rock 'n Roll and yet I got tickets from a son and went with him and was amazed and thoroughly entertained. The highlight of the show was Wil Tarris' "free-form" dance and solo song - - - amazing talent and then - - - - - - what a drummer. I was hypnotized by his drumng. He was not just a time-keeper -- he was a talent. I was visiting from California and this was truly a special treat. Than k you all.

What a fun tale of holiday fun Dee Snider wove. All the actors were very talented and enjoyed themselves. It was nice to see everyone on stage who helped in producing and making such a wonderful event. We had never been to the Broadway Playhouse and it was a perfect venue for this musical play. The theater is very intimate and it appeared there wasn't a bad seat in the place. Great time! The ushers were very professional and helpful. They did their jobs quite well.

I'm a 50 year old prudish mom from the suburbs and I took my teenage daughter to see the show. We had no idea what it was about and had no expectations. It poked good fun at the 80's -- very cheeky! We saw a little bit of KISS, a little bit of Axl Rose, Tommy Lee and a bunch of other 80s bands in this play. The music was GREAT! I got to relive my past and my daughter got to experience it. At the end of the show the entire audience was dancing and singing. The theatre is small and provides a very nice intimate experience. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and so did the entire audience. We saw young people (8-10 years old) to senior citizens...it truly is s great show for all the ages. Highly recommend!!

A+ funny cast of serious musicians who can really play, and Dee was at his phenomenal best. My girlfriend got a high five/handshake from him as he worked the room during the finale... We've been TS fans since the 80s, so that MADE her holiday.

Before the show began, Dee shared his back story about how he is from New York and how much fun him and his wife have been having in Chicago. He quotes Chicago as "New York's prettier sister." I really enjoyed Dee as the narrator because I never had trouble hearing or understanding him, and he has a great rock and roll voice. The play itself had a great storyline, easy to follow, and definitely held my attention. We all had a great time!

For a Christmas show for children it was an outrage. But not just for children--it was the most disgusting Christmas show for anyone at any age. In the future when ordering tickets, I will do better homework--we thought we were taking our grandchildren to a reindeer rock show which is what I thought the advertisement represented--not a satanic disaster. The reindeer head on the advertising was misleading. I felt insulted at the mockery of Christmas and to have a ceremony to honor Satan for a Christmas show was unbelievable and poor, poor taste..The plot was confusing, lines were shouted so the diction was slurred and further distorted the high amplification of the sound system. In your rating system "poor" isn't low enough. When describing the performance to friends, they said they would have walked out--we should have, Our grandchildren ages 14, 10 and 6 loved coming to Chicago for the day, but they didn't like the show at all--lame was the word from the teenager. .

I have been to a lot of Christmas concerts and plays over the years but this one really stood out. It was a unique blend of comedy and rock music. Dee did a great job as narrator and kept the show moving along nicely. The band was tremendous and played well to the acoustics of the Broadway Playhouse.

Perfect if you are looking for a holiday show with a different twist. The local talent is impressive. The songs are catchy and fun. However, the plot is thin and contrived at times. All in all, very cute and definitely something different from your standard holiday fare. If you have a rocker in the family, they will love it!

I have taken my kids to so many different broadway shows over the years and I absolutely loved watching my favorite time period (the 80's) depicted in a spiritual rock version of what Christmas is really about. Amazing talents-beautiful twisted story line and just alot of fun! So glad they came to Chicago. If you loved 80's rock(or you're a rocker) or just love fun musicals that get the audience involved then you have to experience this show!

Everyone in the cast was amazing. The music rocked and really did put me into the Christmas spirit mood. This is a great play to see with your family of all ages. I smiled and laughed the whole time.

Definitley not your traditional Christmas story, and I will never think of a "Dear Santa" letter the same way again!

I was trying to find a show to see on Christmas Eve this year that my husband and I would enjoy as well as my three kids, ages 16-21. Boy did I find it! Never would I have thought that a rocker from the 80's could pull off such a show, but this was the best Christmas Show I have ever seen. It was kinda like a "Rock of Ages" with a Christmas theme. My kids loved it! We loved it! It was funny, entertaining, and even sentimental with a holiday touch. The venue was perfect for such a show with a feeling of intimacy, and a great view no matter where you sat. We were lucky enough to be in the 5th row to see all the facial expressions, but that didn't matter, cause the actors came into the audience. If this show goes to Broadway, I would consider it a must see! Too bad it was only in Chicago for such a short time! My hats off to Dee Snider! I hope he writes another, I'd go see it!

Whilst on a visit to Chicago from UK was looking for some festive entertainment having gorged on all the sports events on offer. I thoroughly enjoyed this show it was funny, with great music from the big hair era; with plenty of spandex, had a great Christmas feel (seeing it on Christmas Eve was cool). the show was the icing on a perfect trip to the Windy City

Dee Snyder did a great job capturing the spirt of Christmas. Good acting, singing, and good venue. I thought the audio mix was too timid for a "Rock" show. Would have preferred more in your face PA. Also would have enjoyed an intermission for cocktails and snacks.

This is a very cute show! We watched the whole thing with smiles on our faces. The music is great, and the message is perfect for the holidays. While this isn't a KIDS show, it is definitely a family show. Anyone who grew up on metal rock will really appreciate the humor. All the music is live and the musicianship is top notch and of course Dee Snider really adds that something special to the show. Definitely worth seeing!

I liked that the characters all played their own instruments. Don't go expecting to have a deep holiday revelation. Just go to have fun and be silly.

We had a great time, it was fun and interactive. The music was fantastic would have liked more. Dee Snider is very entertaining and fun. I am really glad we got to be a part of the show and would do it again.

It started slow...and gained momentum throughout! Many interesting twists and turns. Great costumes too.

Impressed with the theater, really liked the intimate setting for a great story line. I feel that the story would have gotten lost in a bigger theater. Liked how Dee's reading the story to the audience captured the old flare of a christmas tale and the modern mix of the music and musicians was outstanding!!!

My husband, my daughters and I always do something downtown Chicago this time every year. I wanted something that would be fun and something that had to do with Christmas. This was one of my best choices ever over the years. Better than shopping! I highly recommend it. Dee Snider and the cast were amazing and entertaining.

I absolutely loved the show. It was totally entertaining from the very beginning. Dee Snider did a superb job as did all of the actors in the show. My husband and I laughed the entire time. Dee Snider did a fabulous job with this show. We would love to see it as I am sure there are some things we missed. Loved it, loved it, loved it.

Our family wanted to celebrate Christmas together with a show in Chicago. It was pretty scary choosing Dee Snider's Rock & Roll Christmas Tale because we had no clue what we were getting into. With our assorted ages and me being the only one in the group that was familiar with Dee Snider, I was a little apprehensive. I was greedy and chose the play anyway. Boy what a surprise when I looked at the familiy's faces during the performance and got to see their expressions, laughter and intense involvement in the story! We had the best time together and are still talking and reminiscing from the day. Great performance!

First time to the Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place. Love the venue, all good seats. Dee Snider wrote and produced a great play., Message was very good for all ages. Loved, Loved Loved the music. Wish it would have been a longer play. Didn't want to leave. Would love to see it again. Hope he writes another play and brings it to Chicago. Thanks Dee for having Chicago be the place to premier your works. Wish he would have had a CD I could have bought with the rock and roll Christmas tunes. Awesome

Great music, great performances and great story. Perfect way to kick off the holiday season. I laughed. I clapped and I had a great time. Nonstop fun from the beginning to the end. You felt a part of the show from the minute it started to the end.
