Arias with a Twist.
9 / 10
By the end, we were moved and happily joined in with the rest of the audience in giving Joey a well deserved standing ovation. For all its outrageous humor and sensory overload, Arias with a Twist felt like a complete celebration of performing art. We left talking about the puppets, the music, the precision and the sheer pleasure of seeing so much imagination brought to life. We want to see it again before it finishes on November 1st. Once was wonderful, but we want more.
