Reviews
​
“Joshua Condon's expert music direction and his conducting of the 10-piece orchestra deliver an abundance of exceptional and richly detailed musical moments with every Gershwin classical piece sounding exquisite.” – Talkin’ Broadway (An American in Paris, Arizona Broadway Theatre)
"...his show received [an] incredible reaction/standing ovation. All cruise long I had guests approach me about how great his show was. With all this success I asked him to do another solo piano recital, and this is where he shined again, and proved that he is one of the most talented young musician today." - Sinan Ulucay, Cruise Director, Celebrity Cruise Lines
"As a collaborative vocal coach, Josh possesses a keen awareness of assessing the potential strength of singers and directing them in healthy techniques to expand their range, intonation, flexibility, and ensemble singing." - Mark Stoddard, Artistic Director & Theater Faculty - Xavier College Prep
