One Night With Janis Joplin: 4th of July Fireworks & BBQ

- Our Price:

One Night With Janis Joplin adds some actual Fourth of July fireworks to the musical ones produced on stage, with a post-show barbeque buffet on the Arena Stage terrace -- a prime viewing spot for the famed pyrotechnics launched on the National Mall. First up is the show, a part-concert, part-theatrical event that captures Janis Joplin's life and legacy in all its live intensity. Mary Bridget Davies stars as the rock legend in a performance that has audiences dancing in the aisles and critics raving. Featuring powerful musical numbers including "Piece of My Heart, "Summertime" and "Mercedes Benz," as well as one song Joplin never formally recorded, One Night boasts a full band and a cast including Sabrina Elayne Carten, who plays Bessie Smith, Etta James, Aretha Franklin and Nina Simone. After the performance, you'll move outside the theater for food and drinks, along with the fireworks viewing. Please see the full event description for the buffet menu. Learn More

Written on Jun 14 2011The place was too small for such an event, it was too noisy, could not see the dancers, because there was no stage.
And the food was overpriced.

Written on Jun 13 2011Didn't get there until evening, but they had plenty of food left, which was delicious. We missed the important afternoon performers, but enjoyed the ones that played while we were there. People were cordial; parking was free and accessible, and we're glad that we went.

Written on Jun 13 2011Well, the venue was disappointingly small for the size of the crowd. It was hot and there was no ventilation. It would have been MUCH better in a park or as a street fair or something. Honestly, I was expecting more. The food and wine were very good, but pricey, given that admission was already $10 a person. I only stayed for an hour because I couldn't stand the congestion in there. There were not enough seats and the dancers couldn't even be seen by more than half of the crowd. A great idea, just a poor place to have it.

Written on Jun 13 2011It was nice to gather with others whose families come from the region, along with others who simply appreciate the food and culture. The environment was very friendly and I enjoyed the food and music.
