Joey Arias: Love Swings (at the Castro Theatre)

Color Grading, Color Conversion, and AI upscaling from HD sRGB to 2K DCPI for digital projection at the renowned Castro Theatre in San Francisco, CA.


Joey Arias' career is highly distinguished, including the sensational 80s' work in NYC at Fiorucci, singing and performing with David Bowie on SNL, part of the force of nature that created and developed what would be Punk-Pop-Opera Countertenor Legend Klaus Nomi, multiple, hit, original shows with MacArthur Fellow, Basil Twist, and was the original, long-standing Mistress of Sensuality (Master of Ceremonies) at Las Vegas' New York City Hotel, for the adult-themed Cirque du Soleil show: Zumanity.

While Joey should be respected for her myriad accomplishments, there is simply no getting around the fact that one of her unusual gifts, is the ability to sing in a register and mimicry of Billie Holiday that must be seen and heard to be believed. Regrettably, none of the videos online have the audio clarity to appreciate it. It is not an impersonation, it is an homage, spun with Arias' own wit and hilarious venom.
