New York, NY (October 17, 2019) CineLife Entertainment®, the event cinema division of Spotlight
Cinema Networks and BroadwayHD® announce
the theatrical release of the popular Broadway musical, A Night with
Janis Joplin, in U.S. theaters beginning November 5th.
Janis Joplin exploded onto the
music scene in 1967 and instantly became the Queen of Rock & Roll. The
unmistakable voice, filled with raw emotion and tinged with southern comfort,
made her a must-see headliner from Monterey to Woodstock over 50 years ago.
A Night with Janis Joplin follows
the icon’s rise to fame and pays tribute to some of her biggest musical
influences -- legends like Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Odetta, Nina Simone and
Bessie Smith.
The BroadwayHD production is produced by
Stewart F. Lane, Bonnie Comley, and directed by Emmy® Award Winner David Horn.
The multi-camera capture brings this unique performance to life, providing
viewers with the best perspective of every scene so they always feel that they
have the best seats in the house. A Night with
Janis Joplin stars Mary Bridget Davies,
Broadway’s original Janis, in her Tony Award®-nominated role.
The
stage production was written
and directed by Randy Johnson, choreographed by Patricia Wilcox, and produced
for the stage by La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts and McCoy Rigby
Entertainment in association with T&D Productions, LLC. The production was
presented in further association with The Estate of Janis Joplin and Jeffrey
Jampol of JAM, Inc. Since its premiere in 2011, A Night with Janis Joplin
has received multiple nominations/awards and has been seen at sold-out
engagements nationwide. The show is currently on its third national tour.
CineLife
Entertainment’s Executive Vice President, Bernadette McCabe said: “Janis Joplin
was an iconic, soulful rock and blues singer and a huge influence on our
culture. She lives on in this Broadway to cinema production as if she were
standing right in front of you today.” Watch the trailer here: https://vimeo.com/359430568
BroadwayHD’s co-founders and Tony Award®
winners’ Bonnie Comley and Stewart F. Lane comment: “We are absolutely thrilled
to bring this production to life and share it on the big screen. It captures
the electricity and life of the show.”
Janis’ siblings Laura and Michael took part in the
production and found rare live recordings that influenced the musical:
“I am thrilled that A Night with Janis Joplin
is coming to the big screen. The show brings a lift to my spirit. Dancing
in the aisles is a must!” – Michael Joplin
“Let's Rock Together! The film’s
closeup and wide-angle shots create intense, intimate moments, where we join
the audience's connection with Janis.” – Laura Joplin
Mary Bridget Davies will release a new album in
2020. The first “double-sided” single from the upcoming album “Stay With Me: The Reimagined
Songs of Jerry Ragovoy” will be released on
October 25th, 2019, which includes the never before
released “The Right Of Way” and a Ragovoy classic: “Stay With Me”. The
album consists of rare, reimagined arrangements and some never before released
Jerry Ragovoy songs. Mr. Ragovoy was the hit songwriter for such legendary
Joplin classics like “A Piece Of My Heart,” “Cry Baby,” and “Stay With Me,” which
is prominently featured in A Night with Janis Joplin. Mary Bridget
Davies will be live in concert for the single release in New York City at Le
Poisson Rouge on October 26 at 8:00 pm.
