Why see A Night With Janis Joplin?
A Night With Janis Joplin has already made a name for itself playing various regional venues around the USA, and finally heads to Broadway in Fall this year. Mary Bridget Davies reprises her role as the late singer-songwriter, while Randy Johnson directs.
Janis Joplin's distinctive voice, charisma and public battle with drugs and alcohol made her one of Rock and Roll's most memorable stars, though she was only in the limelight for the final three years of her life.
A Night With Janis Joplin is a musical journey celebrating the inspirations of one of Rock 'n Roll's greatest legends!

See it with the understudy!!!!!
The show was excellent! Engulfed you like Janis was alive!!! A new take on her
story, focusing on her influences and musical path. See it with the understudy,
Kacee Clantin, all though both females rock the house, Ms. Clanton Briggs chills
to the spirit of Janis that can't be embodied in words. She channels she energy,
spirit and voice like no other!!!! True fans CANNOT miss her performance!!! ... Read more

Awesome show!!
This was an extraordinary, exceptional show! I enjoyed it immensely. Mary was spot on Janis Joplin. Several standing ovations that were well deserved. Loved everything about this performance. The other ladies in the cast sang their heart out also. The band itself was so talented. Would love to see this show again. Short of hearing Janis sing in person I felt that I did hear Janis. Lovely evening. Definitely 5 star performance. ... Read more
