Held over until August 30th!

The most requested show in ZACH’s history is back! Selected by Janis’ sister Laura Joplin as the original star of the Off-Broadway and national tour of Love, Janis, Andra Mitrovich returns home to ZACH’s stage to channel Janis Joplin as only she can! The life and music of the rock-n-roll icon explodes onto the stage in this dynamic rock musical that offers a glimpse at Janis’ soul through the letters she wrote home and the songs she made famous, like “Me and Bobby McGee,” “Piece of my Heart,” and “Mercedes Benz.”

“Best Actress in a Musical!” Winner for Love, Janis

      This is a fantastic show that is not to be missed if at all possible. I saw productions with both singers and they were equally strong performances. The psychedelic background imagery added a lot. Some of my favorite songs are included, even some that were not as popular or well-known, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, it is not a happy ending, but we know that Janis Joplin's story ends tragically. The first time I saw Love, Janis, I did not understand why she is played by two actresses simultaneously. I wondered whether they were making her schizophrenic. I have since interpreted this as showing two sides of Janis: the Janis her family knew and the onstage Janis. I am not sure if this was the intention or not. Although I have seen it three times, I want to see it again! Great job, Zach! Collapse
