Mary Bridget Davies is currently performing as Janis Joplin in the show "One Night with Janis Joplin" at the Arena Stage. The show is headed to Broadway. I saw it last night, and it should be a big hit in New York. Sabrina Elayne Carten co-stars as several of the women who influenced Joplin's singing, Unfortunately I don't see any clips of her performing, so you will have to attend the show in order to see her. It is well worth it to see either of these two women perform, and a double treat to see them together.
Here are some clips from a few years back of Davies performing with Joplin's band, Big Brother and the Holding Company.
"Piece of My Heart"
"Summertime"
"Ball And Chain"—Big Momma Thorton wrote this song, and you can see her performance of it in this 2010 Post
