Take in two great musical works this fall with this package from Arena. First, at the Kreeger Theater, One Night with Janis Joplin is a rocking musical inspired by the legend's life and art. Playwright and director Randy Johnson's unprecedented access to the Joplin family archives has enabled him to give you a profound immersion into the blues-belting trailblazer's world. Featuring powerful musical numbers including "Piece of My Heart, "Summertime" and "Mercedes Benz," as well as several songs Joplin never formally recorded, the musical event features more than a dozen singers and band members. Then at Fichandler, director Molly Smith's fresh reinterpretation of My Fair Lady tells the delightful tale of Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle's tutelage and transformation under the instruction of Professor Henry Higgins. Adapted from George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion, the musical contains a memorable score by Lerner and Loewe with such favorites as "With a Little Bit of Luck," "The Rain in Spain," "I Could Have Danced All Night," "On the Street Where You Live" and "Get Me to the Church on Time."

I never had the opportunity to see the real Janis Joplin but she certainly is reincarnated in Mary Bridget Davies! What a fabulous show. The band was great and Sabrina Elayne Carten had such an awesome voice. This show is a great experience for anyone to see.

"One Night with Janis Joplin" is superb. Ms. Davies' and Ms. Carten's performances were off the charts. The band, the back-up singers, everything and everyone connected to this production deserve a rousing cheer. It is fabulous.

Excellent show that thankfully did not focus on her issues, rather focused on how her legend came to be. Also, Arena Stage should be highly commended for their accessible seating system. Far better than the Kennedy Centre!!

About the Ticket Supplier: Arena Stage

Arena Stage today stands as a flagship American theater. Arena Stage was one of the first not-for-profit theaters in the United States, as well as a pioneer of the regional theater movement. It was the first regional theater to transfer a production to Broadway, the first invited by the U.S. State Department to tour behind the Iron Curtain, and the first to receive a Tony Award. Taking a leadership role in extending theater's horizons, Arena Stage has implemented groundbreaking policies and programs, promoting diversity in all aspects of theater, from theatergoing to production.

The Arena Stage legacy of world-class productions includes vast epics, charged dramas, rousing musicals, and probing profiles. From the monumental to the developmental, Arena Stage has helped build the canon of American theater. While they produce American classics, Arena Stage premieres new American plays and supported works in progress. They've nurtured artistic growth and engaged the community, broadening and intensifying the theatrical experience for one and all. And yet, in spite of it all, in their second half-century they see themselves as more fresh, restless and dynamic than ever.
