The Best of the Music & Art Scene In New York From A to G. Daily!
The incredibly talented puppeteer Basil Twist is celebrating his birthday today. We at According2G.com would like to wish him a fabulous birthday. Though he is most notibly recognized for “Symphonie Fantastique,” an under-water puppet show, I was first exposed to his genius in last years’ “Arias With A Twist,” starring famous drag star Joey Arias. The show was so great, I saw it 5 times! You can read more about Basil on his official website.
