What People Are Saying
“The heartwarming Lantern in the Window, performed by Joanne Javien and inspired by the Filipino holiday tradition, deserves to become a fresh new Christmas classic for America’s annual Yuletide playlist.”
— Jed Ryan
Lavendar After Dark
“There are several standouts including ‘Ay, Americka,’ a hysterical comedic operetta featuring...Joanne Javien as church ladies who gossip—gossip being the unofficial Olympic sport of the Philippines. There are also appropriately somber moments, including a duet between two of the most visible and stereotypical Filipina professions in New York—a nanny and a nurse, played by the luminous...Joanne Javien. The two reflect on their mixed feelings of being a traditional ‘light of the home’ with families other than their own.”
— Maria Paz Alegre
Theatre is Easy
“Joanne Javien played Donna, Sophie’s mother, with the dramatic passion one would expect from the lead of Donna and the Dynamos, her throw-back 70s trio. Her rendition of “The Winner Takes It All” was superb.”
— Prudence Mainor
Up & Coming Weekly
“Highlights included Javien’s raise the roof show-stopper, ‘The Winner Takes It All.’”
— Rodger Mullen
Fayetteville Observer
“Joanne Javien, as Bloody Mary, is bloody marvelous, the best thing in the show, and you know how I feel about Bloody Mary. Her ‘Bali Ha'i’ is a dream.”
— Eugene Paul

“Joanne Javien makes a smaller, scrappier, actually prettier Bloody Mary than you've seen before. Make no mistake, Mary is still a force of nature as the blunt, plain-spoken horse trader and matchmaker on the island who always has a deal to make. But Javien isn't a joke or stereotype. She gives Mary emotional depth.”
