Reviews
"There’s no shortage of quieter, sentimental songs, such as Barnaba’s sweet voice
and piano accompaniment to “I Still Miss Someone” and some a cappella in songs
like “Angel Band.”
-Charlotte Alexander, SLO Review on Ring of Fire
"Actress Jennifer Barnaba is charming in her role as Elvis's girlfriend Dyanne and
delivers a great rendition of "Fever".
-Dave Elias, 2's Review on Million Dollar Quartet
"Jennifer Barnaba delivers strong performances as the women in Cash's life,
especially her good version of June Carter Cash's mountain twang. Barnaba's piano
skills and ear for harmony recreate their songs' passionate and tender moments."
-Robert M. Gardner, Theatrius on My Name is Johnny Cash
"Standout performances by Jennifer Barnaba as Natalie, the daughter in crisis,
who is also a powerhouse of a singer... the women whose voices are sublime;
however, their overwhelming effect is one that is profoundly touching."
-Marin Heinritz, Encore Michigan on Next to Normal
"Barnaba’s Wednesday edged out her mother as the lead actress and she was a
quirky young woman who is powerful and knows exactly what she wanted.
Barnaba aptly shows the internal contradictions the quintessential Goth girl is
experiencing as she finds herself in love. While she does a wonderful job of
revealing this inner conflict in her performance of the duet “Pulled” (performed
with Thomason), where she really excels is in her high-spirited and energetic duet
with her would-be fiancé, Shimkus, in “Crazier Than You.”
-Bridgette Redman, Encore Michigan on The Addams Family
"Urleen, Rusty and Wendy Jo, respectively played by Jennifer Barnaba, Melissa
Campbell and Kelsey Sumrall. Each one holding their own onstage and blending
their voices together to create a powerful trio that wowed the audience members
with their harmonies and humorous remarks throughout the play."
- Corbin Cottman, Rolla Daily News on Footloose
"Director Charles Burr was blessed this season with being able to cast three
deliciously sexy and strong comedic actresses–Catherine Skojek, Jaclyn Collins and
Jennifer Barnaba as the fiancee/”air hostesses.”
- David Kiley, Encore Michigan on Boeing Boeing
"Jennifer Barnaba shines like a supernova as the high schooler,
sporting a charming, optimistic smile, conveying naivete and a
wide-eyed idealism."
-Aaron Krause, Norwalk Reflector on Bus Stop
