Review:
– “A bravura triumph… Her new show… is brimming over with her trademark chutzpah. But it is also heartfelt, smart, honest, and surprisingly vulnerable… [she] was supported by one of Broadway’s finest musical directors, Phil Reno. His arrangements were wonderful and he was the perfect foil for Leavel’s lightning-quick wit.” BROADWAYWORLD
