Tickets for the limited engagement, which runs through April 21st, are going fast and select performances are nearing sold-out status.

"We are thrilled that Los Angeles has fallen in love with Janis Joplin all over again," said Elizabeth Doran, Executive Director of The Pasadena Playhouse. "Our theatre has been filled with theatre and music lovers of all ages who are discovering, and re-discovering, what a tremendous talent Janis had, which still touches us today. It is such an amazing experience to see our audiences up on their feet, dancing and singing along at every performance."

ONE NIGHT WITH Janis Joplin arrived in Pasadena after having left audiences clamoring for tickets in Portland, Cleveland and Washington D.C. Performances have been extended through April 21, 2013.

ONE NIGHT WITH Janis Joplin, created, written and directed by Randy Johnson and starring Mary Bridget Davies, who gives an acclaimed performance as Janis Joplin, is a full-on concert experience and musical journey into the inspirations of one of rock 'n' roll's greatest legends. With a voice like whiskey and a laugh like pure joy, Janis Joplin took the music scene by storm. Simultaneously rough and vulnerable, Joplin was dubbed the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll, proving music wasn't just a man's world anymore.

ONE NIGHT WITH Janis Joplin also shines a spotlight on the great African-American blues artists who influenced Janis' musical style and career, including Bessie Smith, Etta James and Aretha Franklin. This new musical event includes a live onstage band and features Joplin hits and classic songs such as "Piece of My Heart," "Mercedes Benz," "Me and Bobby McGee," "Ball and Chain" and "Summertime" - creating a compelling portrait of an artist through the words and music of one of America's greatest Rock 'n' Roll icons.
