The Emperor's Nightingale Soars
"Leanne Cabrera as the Nightingale takes a role which, in the hands of a lesser actor, would have come off as syrupy and pouting, and instead hits you in the gut with her intensity and determination." - Jara Jones, Theater That Matters |
The Emperor's Nightingale
"[W]e could also have heard more from Leanne Cabrera’s sweet-voiced nightingale." - Elisabeth Vincentelli, The New Yorker |

No-No Boy
"One of the vivacious Leanne Cabrera's two parts is that of the estranged wife of a soldier, and she is quite compelling." - Daryl Reilly, TheatreScene.net |
Review: No-No Boy at Pan Asian Repertory Theatre
"...Emi (a wonderful Leanne Cabrera)" - John Stoltenberg, DCMetroTheaterArts |

Shanghai Lil's
"Despite the show's limitations, some of the performers still manage to impress... If Cabrera is over-ingenuous as Sara, it's because this model teen's "gee whiz" outlook is written in: the actress nonetheless manages to lend the role some authenticity and grace." - Sandy MacDonald, Theatremania.com |
Shanghai Lil's
"The show's chief attraction is its bright and likable cast. ...The fear on Leanne Cabrera's face makes the threat of Sara's internment strike us in a fresh and deeply personal way." - Clifford Lee Johnson III, Backstage.com |

The King and I Alhambra Theatre & Dining Review
"You will be impressed with the voices of those in the major supporting roles: Ya Han Chang as Lady Th[ia]ng, Leanne Cabrera as Tu[ptim], and Austin Ku as Lun Tha." - Dick Kerekes and Leisla Sansom, eujacksonville.com |
The King and I at the Alhambra, Review
"Romeo & Julie[t] were no match for Austin Ku (Lun Tha) & Leanne Cabrera (Tuptim). They sang like two 'young lovers'." - Victoria Poller, Examiner.com |
Imelda
"But most enchanting are Loresa Lanceta, Alan Ariano, and Leanne Cabrera as a lovable peasant family whose opinions are cleverly used to reflect the Filipino people's changing views of their colorful Imelda." - Lisa Jo Sagolla, Backstage.com

God, Sex & Blue Water
"Cabrera ...invests Clarita with an intense spirituality that makes her etherealness believable. She's truly lit from within, and when she ponders the new Americanisms Brian is teaching her ("Guacamole—it sounds exactly how it tastes") or recounts her excitement on first landing at Newark ("Even the ground I walked on seemed to jump up at me"), she has a freshness that transcends Faigao-Hall's now-prosaic, now-poetic dialogue. She's special." - Marc Miller, Backstage.com
