“If a most valuable player award is to be given out, it goes to Joni Griffith, whose virtuoso violin playing has long grounded these productions, but here she also has a major presence in several roles, totally transforming herself for each one.”
Talkin’ Broadway, Arthur Dorman

“Griffith’s spritely portrayal sets a standard that will be hard for anyone to match. Bounding gracefully, she captured the character of Oberon’s servant that tickled the audience until in the final scene, when she changed the mood with her melodic opera voice and violin that brought the house to tears of joy.”
Jerry Woolpy, The Scott Reed Theatre
“A standout among them was fiddler/soprano Joni Griffith as Circe — seductively pulling English subtitles from her hair and blouse.”
Rob Hubbard, Star Tribune


“Most winning is Griffith, hilarious, in every one of her scenes. Her vibrant delivery of Reynolds’ lines is matched with spirited physicality.”
Talkin’ Broadway
“..a rendition of “My Hometown” by Leif Hove and Joni Griffith (who’s also the MVP of the show’s acting corps) is quietly haunting.
Jay Gabler, City Pages


“Everyone in the cast is truly a delight to watch, including Anna Pladson and Joni Griffith as Argan’s daughters.”

“There is also 10 minutes of pre-show that sets the mood and contains one of the highlights of the evening. which is, Joni Griffith entwined in one of two fabric lattices hung from the ceiling playing the violin. That eloquent moment has stayed with me for days and I suspect will for a long time to come.”
Rob Dunkelberger, The Stages of MN


“A quick individual shout-out to the musicians – John Hilsen and Joni Griffith. The original music that accompanies the action, most especially the way Griffith uses her voice to accent moments, is alternately hilarious and moving. Tamburlaine wouldn’t be as effective a production without them.”
Single White Fringe Geek Review
“Griffith composed the evocative musical settings and vocal arrangements for a number of Percy Bysshe Shelley’s poems that offer commentary on the unspooling narrative, adding immeasurably to the moodiness of the piece.”
