Already hailed by critics in Cleveland as a “feel-good, fist-pumping, must-see” show, ONE
NIGHT WITH JANIS JOPLIN arrived in Pasadena after having left audiences clamoring for
tickets in Portland, Cleveland and Washington D.C. Performances have been extended through
April 21, 2013.
ONE NIGHT WITH JANIS JOPLIN, created, written and directed by Randy Johnson and
starring Mary Bridget Davies, who gives an acclaimed performance as Janis Joplin, is a full-on
concert experience and musical journey into the inspirations of one of rock ‘n’ roll’s greatest
legends. With a voice like whiskey and a laugh like pure joy, Janis Joplin took the music scene
by storm. Simultaneously rough and vulnerable, Joplin was dubbed the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll,
proving music wasn’t just a man’s world anymore. ONE NIGHT WITH JANIS JOPLIN also
shines a spotlight on the great African-American blues artists who influenced Janis’ musical
style and career, including Bessie Smith, Etta James and Aretha Franklin. This new musical
event includes a live onstage band and features Joplin hits and classic songs such as “Piece of
My Heart,” “Mercedes Benz,” “Me and Bobby McGee,” “Ball and Chain” and “Summertime” –
creating a compelling portrait of an artist through the words and music of one of America’s
greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll icons.
