Joni Mitchell attends very first Broadway show, the musical adaptation of ‘Almost Famous’ film

Joni Mitchell finally made it to Broadway.

The iconic singer/songwriter was on deck last night for the star-studded opening of “Almost Famous,” based on Cameron Crowe’s Oscar-winning film.

Mitchell, who was erroneously reported to have died last month, was very much alive at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre to attend the premiere of the musical adaptation starring Tony Award nominee Chris Wood, Anika Larsen, Solea Pfeiffer, Drew Gehling, Rob Colletti and Casey Likes.

The 78-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Famer entered the theater with five friends in tow and hung out with the cast onstage after the show.

Mitchell was in deep conversation with veteran actress/Broadway socialite Brenda Vaccaro during intermission, and received hugs from music mogul Clive Davis and Steely Dan lead singer Donald Fagen.

A show spokesman said it was the very first time Mitchell attended a Broadway show.

Set in 1973, the coming-of-age story is based on Crowe’s own teenage experiences as a 15-year-old music fan who lands a Rolling Stone magazine assignment to follow an emerging rock band on tour.

Mitchell has been said to be an inspiration for parts of the 2000 film, which features a scene of her singing “River” in the background while the fictitious band is backstage at their concert. A longtime fan, Crowe first interviewed Mitchell for a Rolling Stone cover story in 1979, and conducted a rare interview with her last year for the Los Angeles Times.
