Stephen Holden's New York Times review of her show at the Algonquin was an unqualified rave!!!
"Complicated, compelling, and worth seeing more than once, Jessica Molaskey is a performer incapable of dishonesty."
Yay!

Her new album has graced several Top 10 lists as well. I know I've really been enjoying it for the last few weeks. She really is quite a talent.
She's the only good thing on that wretched SFANW album or should I say drink coaster.
I vas just seventeeeeen, ven ju rhode into tohwn, just a girl full ov fantasees and lohngings...
She's such an amazing performer. I fell in love with her during SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD, and her two solo albums are unbelievably terrific.
And she didn't do too badly in the marriage department, either!
Love the solo albums. She and the fabulous Christy Baron are my two favourite Broadway singers making the crossover into jazz.
I don't have her solo albums, but I think she's wonderful in "Songs.." and "Parade"
I saw her in Tommy on tour and thought she was dreadful (but I think it's cause I was partial to Mitzman.) Then, a year later, I saw her on Broadway in Tommy, and thought she was much better. From then on, I no longer bawked at her name.
I need to get her CDs...I've always felt kind of mixed toward her - loved her in Dream True, and she's great on the recording of Songs For a New World..I need to hear more of her solo stuff.
