LIVE ON STAGE: NOT JANIS JOPLIN!


WASHINGTON (AP) – Who sounds like Janis Joplin, looks like Janis Joplin, but isn’t Janis Joplin? Mary Bridget Davies. She stars in the musical biography “One Night With Janis Joplin.” Joplin’s brother Michael says it’s uncanny how much Davies sings and moves like Janis. The play reminds him of the time he went with his parents to see Joplin perform at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco. He was a teenager at the time. He says the other bands let Joplin go on first because her parents were in the audience and didn’t want to stay up late. He says the concert was “bizarrely cool.” “One Night With Janis Joplin” is in Washington through November 4.
