Love, Janis

Love, Janis goes behind the music and offers a glimpse at the soul of a legend both through the letters she wrote home and the songs she made famous. Her classic music comes to life in this hauntingly intimate portrayal inspired by the bestselling book by Laura Joplin. There is the Janis Joplin that most people remember – the female icon of 1960’s rock music – the singular performer whose talent and voice defied traditional musical definitions – the troubled woman who died tragically young. But there was also another side to Janis, the one remembered by her family and her friends. This sensitive, intelligent, funny person is at the heart of the show.
