"Tiffany Taylor’s performance as schoolyard outcast Ilse is also worthy of special mention. Taylor may have the most beautiful voice in the cast, plaintively displayed in a pair of duets, “Don’t Do Sadness/Blue Wind” and “The Dark I Know Well,” and, finally, in the show’s eleven o’clock number, “Purple Summer.”" - Doug Mose, Third Coast Review (Spring Awakening, Porchlight Music Theatre 2022)

"Taylor’s Ilse brings a rich, robust tragedy of “The Dark I Know Well,” and, in its repetitive, final refrain, she and Ariana Burks’ Martha deliver a power surge of hopeless rage that’ll make the hair on the back of your neck stand up." - Catey Sullivan, Chicago Sun-Times (Spring Awakening, Porchlight Music Theatre 2022)

"SPRING AWAKENING's ensemble has a few other standouts. Taylor brings her breezy tone and powerful vocal control to Ilse's big duet with Moritz, "Don't Do Sadness/Blue Wind," and she's equally effective in "The Dark I Know Well" with Burks's Martha. Though I find the song creepy and excessively dark in the context of the show, Taylor and Burks find and nail the painful emotional truth of the song. " - Rachel Weinberg, BroadwayWorld Review (Spring Awakening, Porchlight Music Theatre 2022)

"This is a strong cast. Though most of the characters aren’t fully developed on the page, company members make their characters distinct. Perhaps the most vivid performance comes from Tiffany T. Taylor as Ilse. Her voice rises to the top of the stirring finale, ‘The Song of Purple Summer’." - John Accrocco, Buzznews.net (Spring Awakening, Porchlight Music Theatre 2022)

"The stepsister tag-team of Jacquelyne Jones (Grace) and Tiffany T. Taylor (Joy) are another of the best things in the show. They are hard-pressed not to steal every scene they’re in and they absolutely slay their big number in the second act (Stepsister’s Lament), while dancing with potted plants.  And when they sing with Cinderella, you’re truly sorry it doesn’t happen more often because the ensemble singing in this show is absolutely stellar.  The quartet in (A Lovely Night) is worth the price of admission alone." - Suzanne Magnuson, Splash Magazine (Cinderella, Paramount Theatre 2021)

"Grace and Joy, the Stepmother’s “real daughters,” as she calls them, are played with stylized perfection by Jacquelyne Jones and Tiffany T. Taylor." - Colin Douglas, Chicago Theatre Review (Cinderella, Paramount Theatre 2021)

"Alongside Turlington, the Pink Ladies shine in this production, without a weak link among them. Landree Fleming (Frenchy) and Tiffany T. Taylor (Jan) show strong comedic skills, while Jacquelyne Jones (Rizzo) and Michelle Lauto (Marty) add impressive vocals to the mix. Together, the women achieve a charming chemistry." - Emily McClanathan, BroadwayWorld (Grease, Marriott Theatre 2020)

“Mooning” is an adorable number sung by Roger and Jan (an endearingly hilarious Tiffany T. Taylor) that will give you the feels." - Alli Doubek, Entertaining Chicago (Grease, Marriott Theatre 2020)
