Theater: Janis Joplin Musical by Richard

Recently, Frances and I enjoyed an outstanding, entertaining musical play: One Night With Janis Joplin, at the San Jose Repertory Theatre. This is the life story of Janis Joplin and how she became a rock star.

She lived and grow up in Port Arthur, Texas where she began her love for singing. Janis spent limited time attending college in Beaumont and Austin Texas. A friend asked it she would like to go to California and said yes, and found her self in the notorious Height Asbury area.

She and her music grow, which covered Soul, Gospel, Country, Blues and Rock.She found her calling in Rock Music. With talent, ability and hard work she became star. Her voice was unique and with her body language you could see her express many emotional feelings.

The length of the play was two and half hours. The music and singing were wonderful and enjoyable to watch and listen. The music even had the entire audience up swinging and dancing. This is a great play for any one to see.

This play is leaving San Jose Ca. and going to New York for a Broadway run next month. I wish them all well and success in the big apple.
