With Jennifer Blades at Don't Tell Mama, 2018
Media: Features and Reviews
"Jody Mullen possesses a beautifully controlled soprano that recalls the glory days of Broadway ingénues such as Barbara Cook and Florence Henderson, and she gravitates toward the same musical catalogue. With her lovely appearance and warm and slightly wicked personality, she seems born to play a Rodgers and Hammerstein heroine ... It is [her] tender choices that enchant: 'It Only Takes a Moment' was transformed from a romance to the celebration of the love between a parent and a child, and a medley of 'People Will Say We’re in Love' and 'If I Loved You' brought the hesitant discovery of love inherent in both lyrics."

“In her show, Love Letters from Jersey, at Don’t Tell Mama, Jody Mullen deviates from her background to tackle the works of Frank Sinatra, Whitney Houston, Sarah Vaughan and Bruce Springsteen, among others. It’s a departure she’s looking forward to.” -Anne Marie Baron, The Daily Record (2015)

“Fine harmonizing was heard … by the Three Boys (sung by women: Jody Mullen, Susanna Ketron, and Mallory Berlin).” -Meche Kroop, The Opera Insider (dell’Arte Opera Ensemble, Die Zauberfloete, 2011)
“The ensemble was fully prepared for the great final scene, as the nuns face the guillotine, and their chorus is inexorably reduced, one by one, during Poulenc’s granitic setting of the ‘Salve Regina’ prayer.” -Zachary Woolfe, The New York Times (dell’Arte Opera Ensemble, Dialogues of the Carmelites, 2012)
“Strong performances were given across the vocal spectrum by all of the nuns. Separately, they created splendid, if dysfunctional characters. En groupe, they radiated piety and warmth.” -Paul J. Pelkonen, Superconductor (dell’Arte Opera Ensemble, Dialogues of the Carmelites, 2012)
