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.
