MR. BURNS, A POST-ELECTRIC PLAY| Sacred Fools O! Ovation Recommended
"A triumph… Tracey A. Leigh as “Bart” and Eric Curtis Johnson as “Mr Burns” just kept topping themselves in the final section in ways that I didn’t think possible. All that I can say in return is “brava!” and “bravo!” You completely blew my mind." --Stephen Fife, Better Lemons| Read Full Review "CRITIC'S CHOICE... spectacular... weird, creepy and, as its title character would proclaim it, 'Excellent!'" -- Philip Brandes, L.A. Times| Read Full Review "Ferocious and thrilling...the depths to which respectively, Leigh, amplifies a painful melancholic gravitas and Curtis, a frightening barbaric violence, has to be experienced first-hand to understand the charged emotional grandeur." --Tracey Paleo, Gia on the Move (“Very Highly Recommended”)| Read Full Review "A breathtaking piece of theatre...the cast plays the multiple roles with consummate skill, singing, dancing and acting with grand abandon and awesome dedication to the work..." -- Paul Myrvold's Theatre Notes| Read Full Review |

ALL THE WAY | South Coast Repertory

Leigh, whose moving portrayals of both Martin's wife Coretta Scott King and, later, voting rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer, who gives tearful testimony at the Democratic National Convention.” - Michael L Quintos, Broadway World | Read Full Review "...and Leigh's devastating turn as a brutalized Fannie Lou Hamer... deserve(s) special nods." - Steven Stanley, Stage Raw | Read Full Review |

“Not only have these fellow travelers stuck together, but the group has grown to include Tracey A. Leigh as a starring actor with a wonderful singing voice.” - Sam Hurwitt, KQED Arts | Read Full Review "Seven years later, the same group has become a traveling acting troupe in a fiercely competitive world, augmented by Tracey A. Leigh's incisive Quincy.” - Robert Hurwitt, SF Gate | Read Full Review "Bart is an epic hero, the lone survivor in his family after a drawn-out confrontation with a conflation of Sideshow Bob and Mr. Burns. In this part-opera, part-religious ritual, Bart must decide, in the face of unfathomable loss, whether and how to keep fighting and keep his humanity as he once knew it.” - Lily, Janiak, SF Weekly | Read Full Review |

THE MANY MISTRESSES OF MLK | Ensemble Studio Theatre/LA O! Ovation Recommended
“Leigh scores strongly as Lashawna, who acts as her husband’s foil as she tries to diffuse his indulgent opinionating with a degree of sensitivity to their guests.” - Les Spindle, Backstage | Read Full Review “Leigh… makes a part that might be played (to less advantage) as a slowly awakening ingenue into a rounded, painfully strong human being…” - Jason Rohrer, Stage and Cinema | Read Full Review |
TALE OF 2CITIES: AN AMERICAN JOYRIDE IN MULTIPLE TRACKS Obie Award
“Leigh captures the subtleties of Anastasia's character and the complexities of her interactions…” - Eric Marchese, Backstage | Read Full Review "Even among this accomplished group, Leigh stands out as fantastic. She manages to give loony Delbert a consistent madness, and her acting as Angela is an expertly layered, three-dimensional wonder. A moment in which Angela relates a monologue about a trip to Coney Island is initially impressive for its speed and clarity of diction, but as she acts out all the characters she's describing and never loses the persona of Angela telling the tale, it becomes a near miraculous moment of art." - Terry Morgan, Variety | Read Full Review |
