RALEIGH -- Janis Joplin exploded onto the music scene in 1967 and, almost overnight, became the queen of rock and roll. Now you can share an evening with her and her musical influences in the hit musical "A Night with Janis Joplin."

Francesca Ferrari, who stars as Janis, and Tawny Dolley, who stars as Etta James, sat down with Spectrum News to talk about how this show stands out from all the rest. 

"A Night with Janis Joplin" is at the Duke Energy Center for Performing Arts in the A.J. Fletcher Opera Theater until May 20.
