The underground-drag-chanteuse-turned-international-drag-sensation Joey Arias has had a glorious run of late, wrapping up a five-year stint with Cirque du Soleil and cocreating the award-winning stage show Arias with a Twist with visionary puppeteer Basil Twist. But tonight at the Triple Door, Arias returns to what first made him famous: his uncanny channeling of Billie Holiday, whose music he'll perform along with original works, accompanied by Eliot Douglass. (Triple Door, 216 Union St, 838-4333. 8 pm, $25, 17+.)
