Leonard and Joni: The Untold Love Story immerses audiences in the passionate but brief romance Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell shared that shaped their songs, their lives and music history. It was 1967 at the Newport Folk Festival when the pair began an intense love affair that lasted only a few months but resulted in the inspiration for some of the most celebrated songs ever written. The multi-media production will recount their mutual influence on each other’s works through stories and songs including the chart toppers “Hallelujah”, “Both Sides Now”, “Big Yellow Taxi” and “I’m Your Man” and many more. It’s a look at a romantic and creative relationship never before explored on stage. Leonard and Joni: The Untold Love Story features singer, songwriter, musician, and actress Dana Wylie who the renowned folk music magazine Penguin Eggs called the only artist whom they have “felt comfortable comparing to Joni Mitchell in the scope of her talent EVER” and singer, songwriter and poet Joe Nolan who was named by The Globe and Mail as “an Americana wunderkind to look out for.” The show is produced by Stars And Stories creators of the hit show “Folsom Prison Revisited”.
