A Night With Janis Joplin The Musical - CinemaLive 12A

Mon 17th Mar
Book

This multi award-winning show, captured recently at the Sadler’s Wells Peacock Theatre, is an extraordinary musical journey paying homage to Janis Joplin and her biggest musical influences.

 

Like a comet that burns far too brightly to last, Janis Joplin exploded onto the music scene in 1967 and, almost overnight, became the queen of rock & roll. The unmistakable voice, filled with raw emotion and tinged with Southern Comfort, made her a must-see headliner from Monterey to Woodstock.

Fuelled by such unforgettable songs as Me and Bobby McGee, Piece of My Heart, Mercedes Benz, Cry Baby and Summertime, a remarkable cast and breakout performances. A Night with Janis Joplin, written and directed by Randy Johnson, is a musical journey celebrating Janis and her biggest musical influences—icons like Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Odetta, Nina Simone and Bessie Smith, who inspired one of rock ‘n roll’s greatest legends.

Runtime: 2 hours 20 minutes (including interval).
