Buddy, The Buddy Holly Story
"Of special note is the immensely powerful voice of Tarra Conner Jones as Mama Pearl, lead signer at the Apollo Theater in New York. Her electrifying version of “Shout” brings the house down."

Chicago The Musical
"Another stand out is Tarra Conner Jones as the bold Matron Mama Morton. Her number, “When You’re Good to Mama” is a delight, as Jones hams up the stage with the bravado of a vaudeville comedian."

The Snapper, 2019

Ma Rainey's Black Bottom
"In addition to being a convincing actor, Ms. Jones is also a bona fide blues shouter whose straight-from-the-shoulder singing evokes the real Ma Rainey's '20s style without resorting to mere imitation."
