A Night with Janis Joplin is coming to London’s Peacock Theatre from 21st August – 28th September!
Tony-nominated Mary Bridget Davies will be sharing the role of Janis with award winning West End performer Sharon Sexton at London’s Peacock Theatre this summer! The UK premiere of this multi award-winning show is an extraordinary musical journey paying homage to the inspirations of one of rock ‘n’ roll’s greatest legends.
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.
*Mary is scheduled to perform at all evening performances and Sharon at all matinee performances.*
