Big Island Music Magazines praises Moniz for his performance in Hawaii Performing Arts Festival’s presentation of Home for the Holidays.

“Last but never least, Executive Director Justin John Moniz demonstrated his theater skills as well as his perfectly controlled tenor. He didn’t announce what he was going to sing; the songs flowed seamlessly from what he was saying, just the way songs do in musical theater. Ending with “My Favorite Things,” I thought about one of my own favorites things – the Hawaii Performing Arts Festival.”
