Mr. Roses may have what it takes to sing an ode to Shakespeare, ’Here’s to the Bard,’ and dance the do-si-do in ’It’s Time to Do-Si-Do,’ but how is he going to stand up to his 30-year rival, Sally Seashell? Sally blames Roses for losing an important tongue twister tournament back in high school. Now, he is a teacher at his alma mater, Bitter Batter School, and Sally is the newly appointed principal! She has only one thing on her mind — winning the tongue twister tournament and regaining the trophy. The students are up for it, as they show in the upbeat ’We are Ready to Twist and Shout,’ but is Mr. Roses?
While Moses Roses and Sally Seashell struggle, rival Hazel Hazelnutt of Nettie’s Knitting Night School steps in. Winning this year’s tournament will not only bring her sustained glory but will also give her the chance to take over Bitter Batter.
Your audiences will love the wild characters, including janitor Mr. Hygiene, game show host Wink Hughbett and a wild array of students competing for tongue twister triumph and a trip to the Bahamas. Twirl in the spirit of fun with songs such as ’School Song,’ ’We Have Some Work to Do’ and ’A Twist of the Tongue.’
This musical has the twists (pun intended!) and turns that are guaranteed to bring your house down! A Twist of the Tongue is easy and fun to produce, and what’s more, tongue twisting skills are definitely not required!
