Dee Snider's New Record 'Dee Does Broadway' to Turn Broadway Songs Into RockAugust 14, 2011Gold Mine Mag recently sat down with Twisted Sisters' Dee Snider, who has signed to do a new record that isn't metal. It will be called 'Dee Does Broadway.' 'I'm taking Broadway show tunes and I'm making them rock,' he said. 'It's sort of a Twisted Christmas taken to Broadway.
