"For a final performance, to cap off a great season, Conyer Lee as Billie Holiday is the one to see."
BROADWAYWORLD.COM - Portland run 2017
"An expressive vocalist who rekindles Holiday's tone and mannerisms with uncanny precision, Conyer Lee's real triumph is as an actress."
"...the bond [Lee} has developed with this character is profound."
BROADWAYWORLD.COM - Madison run 2017
"Lee does such an amazing job...that I became unaware of the entire event being scripted"
PROVINCETOWN BANNER 2015
"Lee nails the role of Billie Holiday"

"Lee is dazzling. She doesn't imitate Holiday, but evokes her languid timing..."
BOSTON GLOBE 2015
"Lee is great at capturing Holiday's self-willed, if shaky, confidence..."
