LOVE, JANIS at ZACH Theatre

ZACH's Summer of Love is off to an explosive start as the life and music of rock icon Janis Joplin hits the stage in Love, Janis! Directed and adapted by Tony Award-nominated playwright Randal Myler, Love, Janis combines Janis' own words -- taken from real-life interviews and heartfelt letters home to her family in Port Arthur, Texas -- with her brilliant breed of rock-n-soul music that revolutionized 1960's America.

JANIS IS ALIVE!!!!!!

The thing about Janis' voice, is that it was naturally gravelly and raw. She could sing soft as could be, but when she wailed it was like a growl blues banshee. Which is what made her amazing. Women that take on Janis' have to FORCE their voices to make that gin soaked bar room sound. They growl on purpose to try and sound like Janis. To me that is a turn off. I admit, she is just acting though.

[TheRachakins]

that was a little bit of a joke, but still a nice tribute. She gave me a little chills, she hit some notes just right, but then others were kind of her own sound, or exaggerated janis

I can only hope that the show might come to Australia!
