A Night with Janis Joplin in London is a musical journey through Janis Joplin’s storied rock and roll career from Woodstock and beyond with hit songs like Me and Bobby McGee, Summertime, and Cry Baby. The show also includes many of Joplin’s inspirations, including Odetta, Etta James, and Aretha Franklin.
See Mary Bridget Davies reprising her Tony-nominated role from the Broadway run as Janis Joplin. Sharon Sexton (Billy Elliot the Musical) will also be playing the role of Janis Joplin in the matinee performances.
As The Hollywood Reporter said of Davies's performance, “When she throws her formidable lungpower and raspy emotional rawness into “Piece of My Heart,” you could swear the tragic supernova known to her friends as “Pearl” had been reborn.”
