Twister Sister’s lead singer Dee Snider to appear in ‘Rock of Ages’ on Broadway this month

Twister Sister’s Dee Snider to rock Broadway

NEW YORK — The musical “Rock of Ages” is going to get a little twisted this month.

Producers said Thursday that Twister Sister frontman Dee Snider will make his Broadway debut as Dennis in the show for an 11-week run starting Oct. 11.

Life will be imitating art since Snider was the writer behind such ’80s hair metal standards as “I Wanna Rock” and “We’re Not Gonna Take It” — both of which are featured in “Rock of Ages.”

Snider, who has a syndicated radio show, has appeared in the cult horror movie “StrangeLand” and a few TV reality shows, including “Gone Country” and “Growing Up Twisted.”

“Rock of Ages” tells the story of two rockers who fall in love and battle an evil developer who wants to tear down the local club.
