One Night With Janis Joplin


The initial stage set for One Night With Janis Joplin.  The backgrounds changed as the play progressed.  We saw the last performance of the play at the San Jose Rep.  Mostly a concert of Joplin songs by the actress portraying her along with a Big Brother and The Holding Company cover band.  A very well played set of songs.  There is a thin narrative which accompanies the music that fills in Joplin's discovery of blues music, her elation at live performance and her subsequent disillusionment with everything.
