Produced by Barbara Busackino and Tandem Otter Productions, the show received a rave review from Ben Brantley in the New York Times and played to sold out houses for 6 months.

Arias’ relationship with Abrons began in October 2010 when “Joey Arias in Concert” marked Arias’ first concert appearances in New York in over a decade.
Presented by Earl Dax and music directed by Ben Allison, the shows filled the 300-seat Abrons theater to capacity at each performance prompting the addition of an added late night performance.
Based on the success of the show, Dax collaborated with Josh Wood who produced Arias in concert at New York’s legendary Town Hall on April 21, 2010.
