Cat Stephani as rock legend
Janis Joplin in the world
premiere of One Night with
Janis Joplin, presented at
Portland Center Stage
Planet Janis
W o rld -p re m ie re p ro d u c tio n re s u rre c ts J o p lin
fo r One Night on ly
When it comes to female rock icons— hell, icons of any gender, anv musical
genre—they don’t get more singular than Janis Joplin. I he bluesy, bawdy force
behind “Piece of My 1 leart, ’“Me and Bobby M c(iec’’ and “Mercedes Benz,"who
fatally overdosed in 1970 at the age of 27, influenced everyone from Stevie Nicks
to Pink. 1 ler style, swagger and soulful vulnerability were one-of-a-kind.
Now a world-premiere musical promises to resurrect Joplin’s oeuvre in all of
its raw power. One Night with Janis Joplin, presented bv Portland Center Stage
in association with the legend’s estate and Jeffrey Jampol (JAM , Inc.), features
more than 20 cuts culled from Joplin’s influences, recordings and performanc
es—including an in-progress song she never got a chance to record, “I’m Gonna
Rock My Way to I leaven.”
Cat Stephani takes on the titular role, with Sabrina Klavnc Carten as “The
Blues Singer” and a backing band of local musicians including Stephen Flakus,
Mitch Wilson, Ross Scligman and Anton Van Oosbree. And for those who
want to join the Joplin fold, a four-hour master class at 2 p.m. June 4 will help
fans “Unleash Your Janice.’’ (The SI 00 tuition includes a ticket to the show.)
Conceived of, written and directed by Randy Johnson, who previously
helmed Elvis the Concert and served as the original producer of Always Patsy
Cline, Joplin is in good hands—audiences, too. Come on, you know you got it if
it makes you feel good.
