There are blues singers, hippies and rock stars…then there’s Janis Joplin. She gave a piece of her heart with every song and her powerful voice and explosive presence electrified a generation.  Crafted from Janis’ letters home to her family, her journey from small-town girl to rock-and-roll icon comes alive in this thrilling musical by the creator of Hank Williams: Lost Highway. All her biggest hit songs from “Me and Bobby McGee” to “Ball and Chain” are woven with glimpses of her internal life, creating a complex portrait of the queen of the Summer of Love. A rocking Arizona premiere of this international hit!
Contains loud music (of course!)

Listen to Julie Bierach’s interview with Joel Hoekstra, Lisa Otey and Cathy Richardson on KUAZ’s Arizona Spotlight - including excerpts from “Turtle Blues,” “Mercedes Benz” and “Me and Bobby McGee”
