Beth Leavel: It’s Not About Me

Leavel is one of those brassy, belting Broadway broads.

A merry musical sleigh ride.

Her interpretations are mature and seasoned, yielding delivery of the lyric with maximum impact and impeccable phrasing.

De Shields is one of those forces of nature who gives 1,000% when he performs.

His versatility and ability to jump into a role or lyric and deliver the goods is nonpareil.

Her clear vocal tone, mastery of phrasing, and feel for the lyric won the day.

An intensely likeable ball of energy; he joyously entertained.
