Alice Ripley should play Joni. Listening to her solo CD, the similarities are amazing.

It should be a one-man show starring Scott Baio called "Chachi Loves Joni."
Bad joke, and I appologize in advance.

Well John Kelly does a brilliant one person Joni Mitchell show that even Mitchell herself has raved about. Perhaps that'll move for a commercial run one of these days.

this is probably a dumb question, but who is Joni Mitchell?

Not so much dumb as disheartening.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

Joni Mitchell is god. If you owe yourself anything, it is listening to her music. Life changing.

Agreed. Her tone is amazing, as is her vocal control.

There was also a Joni Mitchell theatre piece called "The Joni Mitchell Project," about 15 years ago. Played in Los Angeles.

Even though he started at Wigstock, John Kelly has done his show commercially many many times, at The Fez in NYC, and other theaters in NY, I believe, as well all over the country. He's done several different versions with different setlists and show names.

I'm well aware that John Kelly has done his show hundreds of times around the country and that he has various versions of it (I've been personally acquainted with John for roughly 15 years now). My thought was about him doing an open-ended 8 show a week run perhaps at an off-Broadway commercial venue, something he's never done here before. I think there's enough of an audience out there to support a multi-month run and it would help to broaden his appeal and raise his profile.

off topic a bit...but Margo....how are you "personally aquainted" with him?

Not to be attacking, but it's not really anyone's business how someone is personally acquainted with someone else. Many many people know John Kelly, either as friends, professionally, or through community.
Margo, I agree, I wish John would do an open-ended run. He's remarkable.
