The beloved 90s children's TV show has once again captured everyone's attention as the stars of Round the Twist have reunited after two decades. This Australian comedy drama series, which ran from 1990 to 2001, has left a lasting impression on viewers with its wild and supernatural storylines. Based on the works of author Paul Jennings, the show follows the Twist family – dad Tony and his three kids, Pete, Linda, and Bronson – as they move into a lighthouse in the fictional town of Port Niranda.
The first two seasons, released in 1990 and 1993, featured Richard Moir as the family patriarch and a total of six different actors portraying the Twist kids. The show then returned with a new cast for two more seasons in 2000 and 2001, airing on BBC One and Nickelodeon in the UK. Now, 23 years since its last season, the stars of Round the Twist have come back together.
To celebrate the show's legacy, a Round the Twist musical premiered at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre's Playhouse this week. The production follows the Twist family as they embark on a magical adventure to solve a century-old mystery and rewrite history. Many stars from the TV series attended the premiere, posing together for photos on the red carpet. Among them were Robyn Gibbes, Eamonn Kelly, Nick Mitchell, Cameron Nugent, Ben Thomas, Jeffrey Walker, Tamsin West, and Richie Young.
One of the most recognizable stars from the show is Jeffrey Walker, who played Bronson in the second season. Since then, he has become a successful director, working on popular TV shows such as Neighbours, Home and Away, H2O: Just Add Water, Modern Family, Bones, Young Sheldon, and Young Rock. Despite years passing, many viewers still remember the catchy theme tune and jaw-dropping storylines that pushed boundaries.
Speaking of memorable storylines, Round the Twist had no shortage of them. From an episode where Pete becomes pregnant after peeing on a tree to Bronson's private parts turning into a propeller after swallowing a rare 'whirling derfish,' and Linda being stalked by a possessed scarecrow, some viewers were left horrified and scarred for life. However, the show's composer and playwright, Paul Hodge, revealed that he hopes the musical will eventually make its way to the UK, where it was even more popular than in Australia.
