"PRINCESS & THE BLACK-EYED PEA" at San Diego Rep
...the pricelessly gifted Jennifer Leigh Warren as Princess Hena, Rolin’s gal and Quelie’s sibling bête noir. They sing, they dance – they’re amazing. - San Diego Arts
...Ms. Warren manages to play the villain of the piece as more of a misguided schemer than anything else, and that works—she takes home the acting honors. - TalkinBroadway.com
...Jennifer Leigh Warren was first-rate and funny as Hena who keeps trying to get the Prince for herself. - blogcritcs.com
"SISTERS" at the Gardenia
… The pair are at their best when power-lunged Broadway Diva Warren is soloing, with Hale providing sumptuous support on harp or piano. Warren’s vocal versatility is amply displayed with softly introspective, rubato outings on “if I Should Lose you” and the folk ballad “Black is the Color.” She kicks it up a notch with a wonderfully accusatory “Alfie.” She also can wail, as she proves with a driving rendition of “Kansas City.” - Variety
"KISMET" for Reprise!
...surely the best reason to see this is Jennifer Leigh Warren's gimlet-eyed Lalume, the Wazir’s wife of wives. She’s a woman of luxury and Warren luxuriates in her deliciously and milks it for all it's worth. - Los Angeles Times
…Especially delectable is the chemistry between Graae (Jason) and the wonderful Jennifer Leigh Warren. Warren has a rich warm voice and knows exactly where to place every note. She never makes the mistake of playing the voluptuary with broad comedy like Mae West but delicately teases every erotic moment with wickedly playful humor. - Curtain Up
"HAIR" for Reprise!
… in this simple, direct lament, the character of Shelia – wonderfully acted and soulfully sung by Jennifer Leigh Warren – begins to mean something to us. - Los Angeles Times
… Jennifer Leigh Warren’s “Easy to be Hard,” the greatest musical moment of the show. - Variety
… when she sings “Easy to be Hard—Her glowing, amber-colored voice gives this heartbreaking song such a judicious, unfussy, hard-edge that one could cry. - KCRW
"THE DYBBUK" for the Wilton Project
...Jennifer Leigh Warren gives a remarkable performance as Leah. - Drama-logue
"ABYSSINIA" - New York, Cleveland, North Shore.
…Jennifer Leigh Warren, who made a memorable cameo appearance on Broadway in “Big River,” gives a broad, effective performance in the title role, with a vocal delivery strongly reminiscent of Stephanie Mills. - New York Times
…Although you’ve probably seen birds that are bigger than this expressive actor-singer, you’ve never heard one sing with her range and delicacy of feeling. Her strength shows in the spiritual lament “Cry,” in which she places every blessed note with the accuracy of an acrobat traversing the high-wire on point. - New York Post
… At the Musical’s luminous heart is Jennifer Leigh Warren, a fragile woman who has no trouble looking about 13 years old. Her Abyssinia is completely convincing, shy and innocent, then wrapped in a miserable cocoon of pain from which she can finally burst. When she uncorks the full power of her voice, she makes the back of your neck tingle. - Cleveland Plain Dealer
… Jennifer Leigh Warren is astonishing. Judging from her lusty renditions of gospel numbers, a great big belter inhabits the body of this tiny, delicate-looking performer. It's something to see, and hear. - New York News Day
… And not only does local stage and
cabaret favorite Jennifer Leigh Warren steal the show as she belts it up to the rafters
as the Apollo Singer, but you can't stop watching her even when she's in the
sidelines. She just looks like she is having so much fun up there, and the
audience can't help but reciprocate.
