"Jenny Shotwell owns the honor of the best voice in this performance, one that's rich in overtones, but tightly focused; delicate at lower levels, but opening up strongly, and always with good enunciation." - Fanfare Magazine (HMS Pinafore, Seattle Gilbert and Sullivan Society)
"The highlight of the show had to be the stunning vocal pyrotechnics of soprano Jenny Shotwell and tenor Marcus Shelton as the lead couple Marie and Tonio. Gaetano Donizetti's score is one big sing from beginning to end for these two, and they sailed through it with gleeful confidence.Shotwell made a chirpy, petite Marie, tomboyish with cartwheels and jumps yet cutely flirtatious. Her bright, clear coloratura was perfect for the role, soaring effortlessly to high Fs and with an edge that worked well." - Tacoma News Tribune (The Daughter of the Regiment, Tacoma Opera)
"Jenny's turn from Joni Mitchell-esq to her amazing performance of 'White Rabbit' is going to be one of those range of musical performances I will be talking about for a long time." - Anonymous, Harlequin Productions Golden Mask Nomination (Sixties Chicks, Harlequin Productions)
"Jenny sang two Carole King songs and nailed those AND had three songs that were worth the price of admission by themselves. She sang Etta James' jazz classic At Last that would have quieted a street riot. With White Rabbit she sent shivers through everyone that lived during the sixties and both those that came before and after. Mesmerizing. She has such a strong voice and yet, Joni Mitchell's A Case of You accompanied mostly with an accoustic guitar was so simple and just lovely. "
- Northwest Adventures (Sixties Chicks)
"Jenny Shotwell... is a soprano who seems to be able to hold trills and high notes far beyond what you would consider humanly possible....her singing is awe-inspiring." - Tacoma News Tribune ( The Pirates of Penzance, Lakewood Playhouse)
