“Songbird” at Glimmerglass
“Leonard was at the top of her game from the start. In an early song, “I Will Always Love You,” her lustrous voice left the audience spellbound.”
“Leonard plays a young actress forced to choose between financial security and true love. For quite a while she kept in check her honest emotions and ample voice. Finally, singing in French about foolish men, she unmasked a dark and riveting sound. It brought to mind the distinctive hues of another little sparrow, the great and tragic French chanteuse Edith Piaf.”
