Must Read: How 'A Night With Janis Joplin' Was Suddenly Cancelled
A Night With Janis Joplin is a new musical about Janis Joplin. Janis and her influences come to life onstage through masterful vocal performances. The show closed on Broadway earlier this year and announced it would be moving downtown to an off-Broadway location. Then, only a few days before opening, the show announced it wasn't going to transfer anymore. Everyone but the producers were blindsided. The New York Times has the full story and it's shocking. My heart goes out to all those theater professionals who were told their jobs were safe and turned down other work on Broadway, touring, and regional productions for a show the producers had no right treating this way. And surprise, surprise, Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark rears its ugly head again with the executive producer line-up.
