Cert 12A (tbc)
Recorded screening, 140 mins, 1 interval

Janis Joplin exploded onto the music scene in 1967 to become queen of rock ‘n’ roll. Her unmistakable voice, filled with raw emotion, made her a must-see headliner from Monterey to Woodstock, with unforgettable numbers such as Me and Bobby McGee, Piece of My Heart and Mercedes Benz. This multi award-winning show, captured recently at the Sadler’s Wells Peacock Theatre, is an extraordinary musical journey paying homage to Janis and her biggest musical influences – Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Nina Simone and Bessie Smith.
