A Night With Janis Joplin

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

Man who cluck like duck but taste like chicken.

Joplin and the woman blues stars that influenced her.

First 10 minutes started off a bit slow. Next 10 minutes were better. Next 10 minutes were great. The rest of the show was mind blowingly fantastic. The black woman blues singers were fantastic. The Joplin singer was fantastic. The sound initially started out loud, but then they got it perfectly. Eventually the audience screaming and clapping actually was much louder then the show volume. Initially the crowd was very reserved. The singers and the band brought out the conservative crowd, where everyone was singing and sort of dancing. That was amusing because many were in their 70's. Had Joblin lived she would be 76. Old hippies going crazy. It was a sight to behold. It brought people together to a simpler time. ... Read more

Davies brought the house down

Saw this show last Saturday night (10/26) and I am still reeling from the performance. Mary Davies is the reincarnation of janis Joblin. The entire cast is excellent. They had everyone in the theater on their feet rockin to the music. The place went wild. We attended four musical performances in our 3 days in NYC and this was by far the best. Don't miss it! Especially if you are a fan of Janis Joplin. ... Read more
