“Created by third-generation puppeteer Basil Twist and drag icon Joey Arias, Arias with a Twist merges the visionary direction and production design of Twist with the unique musical arrangements of Arias for a delightfully demented, retro-futuristic fantasy. Weaving a surreal, dreamlike account from an alien abduction to a magnificent finale worthy of the best in 1930s-era musicals, the program incorporates antique marionettes, quixotic scenery, and costumes designed by Thierry Mugler and executed by Project Runway's Chris March. Having served as a founding member of the Groundlings as well as Zumanity's "Mistress of Seduction," Joey Arias will be making the most of his time in LA with club performances, including a stint at Shits and Giggles. ”
Tanja M. Laden, Flavorpill
In this deliriously madcap fantasy revue, the soaring song stylings of drag diva Joey Arias are surrounded by an eye-popping theatrical extravaganza conjured by a team of puppeteers directed by the legendary Basil Twist. Celluloid dreams, macabre nightmares and bizarre premonitions take the audience on a breathless ride. l more info
