What are the people saying?

Lili Marlene (Renate), Off Broadway
"The great strong point of the show is Rachel Leighson’s performance as Renate, the cabaret hostess. Not only does she have a great voice, she also has a commanding stage presence. She masters the stage from the very opening, when she reminds us, her cabaret audience, not to click our ball-points." - Steve Capra, NewYorkTheater
​
"owner-emcee Renate (a moving performance by Rachel Leighson)" - Jon Sobel, Blogcritics
Eden (Dr. Luna Del Cielo), The Cell Theatre
The unfussy and refreshingly natural performances of Gaia Visnar and Rachel Leighson as two female scientists on a race to understand and treat a progressive mystery disease achieved a style that was both approachable and more than once remarked on by the scientists on the post-show panel as “realistic.” “You really captured our obsession to find the truth.” - Fareeda Pyracha Ahmed, The Theatre Times
