"Brava Joan Barber, the splendiferous one . . .she has the fire and clarion voice that shoots through the theater and yet is tempered with the dulcet tones to make the deathbed reprise as meltingly affective as it must be."
-- The New York Times for "Man of La Mancha"

"Joan Barber looks and acts sexy and sings and dances up a storm."
-- The Hallendale Digest for "The Boyfriend"
