The Joni Mitchell Show is a play with music and dance, written and performed by Berklee students, about the life and work of songwriter Joni Mitchell. When the dust settles, Mitchell may stand as the most important and influential female recording artist of the late 20th century. Uncompromising and iconoclastic, she confounded expectations at every turn; restlessly innovative, her music evolved from deeply personal folk stylings into pop, jazz, avant-garde, and even world music, presaging the multicultural experimentation of the 1980s and 1990s by over a decade. Please note that Joni Mitchell will not be performing or in attendance for this event. [details]
