Love, Janis -- a new musical celebrating the life and music of rock legend Janis Joplin -- makes its Bay Area premiere at San Francisco's Marines Memorial Theatre for the limited 8-week engagement beginning July 7th. Tickets go on sale Sunday, May 21st.
Love, Janis is a persuasively intimate portrayal of one of America's the majority celebrated icons that goes at the back the music to offer a glimpse at the soul of a legend both during the letters she wrote home and the songs she made famous. The limited eight-week engagement begins Friday, July 7th with a press breach scheduled for Sunday, July 16th.
Conceived, adapted and directed by Randal Myler (It Aren't Nothing But The Blues, Hank Williams: Lost Highway) and encouraged by the best-selling book of the same name by Laura Joplin, Love, Janis paints a stunning portrait of the legendary blues rocker -- both of the singular player who defied traditional musical definitions, and the responsive, intelligent person remembered by family and friends -- from her meteoric rise to fame in the '60s to her tragic death in 1972. Janis' journey is told in her own words; the whole spoken text comes directly from Janis' actual letters and her many print, radio and television interviews
Tickets range in price from $35-$67 for regular performances. Reduced-price previews (July 7th-15th) are $30 for all seats. Tickets go on sale Sunday, May 21st at the Marines Memorial Theatre box office, even by phone at 415-771-6900, and on the web at ticketmaster.com.
