Members of the 27 Club all had one thing in common; they all died tragically at the tender age of 27. Was this a coincidence or was there something more? In one mystical and magical evening on the night before Woodstock this happened in an apartment in Greenwich Village, NYC. This production (going 7+ years strong!) features the music and tells the stories of legendary Jimi Hendrix (Anthony Aquarius), Amy Winehouse (Whitney Shay), Janis Joplin (Lauren Leigh), Jim Morrison (Liam Croome), Robert Johnson (Robin Henkel), Kurt Cobain (Austin David) and more. Our All Star cast also includes Phil Pardell (percussions), Jodie Hill (Bass), and newcomers Ms. Hadley Durkee (as host) & Josh Weinstein (as host-keybooards.) Doors will open at 7 PM with the show beginning at 7:30. This show (since we only do it once a year in San Diego) typically sells out so grab the best seats now!
