What is A NIGHT WITH JANIS JOPLIN about?

A NIGHT WITH JANIS JOPLIN is a musical journey that celebrates Janis Joplin and her musical influences. Trailblazers like Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Odetta, Nina Simone, and Bessie Smith inspired her to become one of Rock 'n' Roll's greatest legends. The musical has been an immediate hit since its journey began back in 2011, with a successful run on Broadway at the Lyceum Theatre, and has been touring the US ever since.
