A Night with Janis Joplin
LOH celebrates the 50th anniversary of Janis Joplin’s landmark Woodstock performance with this explosive Broadway musical! Tony Award nominee Mary Bridget Davies (Best Lead Actress for her performance as Joplin in the show’s Broadway production) reprises her role in this stirring tribute to the rocker’s turbulent life and biggest musical influences. Those influences included trailblazers like Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Odetta, Nina Simone, and Bessie Smith. Like a comet that burns far too brightly to last, Joplin exploded onto the music scene in 1967 and, almost overnight, became the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll. Her unmistakable voice, filled with raw emotion and tinged with Southern Comfort, soars on timeless songs like Piece of My Heart, Cry Baby, Me and Bobby McGee, and more.
