With an obvious infusion of capital and an expansion in scale, the 2008 downtown hit "Arias with a Twist" has moved uptown –– though, to be accurate geographically, it's actually headed crosstown to the Henry Street Settlement's Abrons Arts Center.

With a larger show, its title has been amended to reflect its grander setting, but fortunately for its established fans — and those just discovering this madcap masterpiece — its essence, its wit and delicious vulgarity, and Joey Arias' amazing presence are undiminished.
