About A Night With Janis Joplin Like a comet that burns far too brightly to last, Janis Joplin exploded onto the music scene in 1967 and, almost overnight, became the queen of rock & roll.

Now, Denver is invited to share an evening with the woman and her musical influences in the hit musical A Night With Janis Joplin.
