‘Twisted Sister Presents A Twisted Christmas on Broadway’

What’s more metal than fire? Apparently chestnuts roasting on it, if you’ll believe mascara’d ’80s metal troubadours Twisted Sister. No other heavy band has made the yuletide season its business quite like Dee Snider & co. In the three years since they released holiday disc A Twisted Christmas, they’ve performed annual “Twisted Christmas” revues (this one even gets the added tag “on Broadway”—so hold onto your sharpened teeth for what that might mean). It’s a far cry from challenging Tipper Gore and the P.M.R.C. in front of Congress, but truth is, nobody sings “We’re Not Gonna Take It” to presents.
