⭐ A NIGHT WITH JANIS JOPLIN – UK PREMIERE ANNOUNCED – PEACOCK THEATRE – AUGUST 2024 – STARRING MARY BRIDGET DAVIES ⭐
The UK premiere of the critically-acclaimed musical A NIGHT WITH JANIS JOPLIN has been announced.
The show will be coming to the Peacock Theatre, Sadlers Wells’ home in the West End, this August.
Starring Mary Bridget Davies as Janis Joplin, who played the role for both the touring and Broadway productions, receiving a Tony Award nomination for Best Lead Actress in a Musical for her performance.
A NIGHT WITH JANIS JOPLIN is a musical journey celebrating Janis Joplin and her biggest musical influences – trailblazers like Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Odetta, Nina Simone and Bessie Smith, all of whom inspired Joplin to become one of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s greatest legends. Like a comet that burns far too brightly to last, Joplin exploded onto the music scene in 1967 and, almost overnight, became the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll. Her unmistakable voice, filled with raw emotion and tinged with Southern Comfort, made Joplin a must-see headliner from Monterey to Woodstock.
Audiences will enjoy Joplin’s favourites, including ‘Piece of My Heart,’ ‘Cry Baby’, ‘Me and Bobby McGee’ and many others.
Produced by Michael Cohl, Tony Smith and the estate of Janis Joplin and Jeffrey Jampol for Jam, Inc, with UK General Management by MPSI Ltd.
A NIGHT WITH JANIS JOPLIN will play the Peacock Theatre, running from 20th August – 28th September 2024, with tickets going on sale from 26th January 2024.
