Reviews
"And while Zimmerman’s wise-cracking Sheila dominates numerous scenes with her statuesque figure, the West End transplant is so spot-on with her ribald ripostes that she leaves us wanting more."
-The Hollywood Reporter
"Leigh Zimmerman delivered jaded Sheila’s wisecracks with zest."
-LA Times
"Chicago vet Leigh Zimmerman, Kelsey Walston, and Mara Davi (one of several cast members reprising their role from the 2006 Broadway revival) elevated the evening’s vocals with the first soaring ballad, “At the Ballet,” a haunting trio that, for fans of A Chorus Line, may have finally found its venue match in the cavernous Hollywood Bowl. Zimmerman and Davi’s harmony was pitch-perfect and filled the space the way Marvin Hamlisch and lyricist Edward Kleban must have only dreamed of."
