Reviews
“As Martha Jefferson, brought to Philadelphia as an incentive to get Jefferson to work, Liz LeClerc … positively glows as she extolls her husband’s violin virtuosity; the audience becomes as besotted with her as Franklin and, begrudgingly, Adams do. She’s also very pretty and, best of all, has a soaring soprano voice.” (REVIEW: Stirring "1776" at the Paper Mill Playhouse Is America's Best Birthday Present on This, Its 250th Year! — Ruth Ross, NJ Arts Maven)
“Liz Leclerc playing Martha Jefferson also has a beautiful voice and is delightful to watch as she flits around the stage, so light on her feet.” (Review: Paper Mill’s ‘1776’ celebrates our nation’s birth — Debbie L. Hochberg, Essex News Daily)
“Other memorable performances are turned in by … Liz Leclerc as Jefferson’s glamorous wife Martha, who visits him in Philadelphia and dances with Adams and Franklin during the song, ‘He Plays the Violin.’” (Founding Fathers sing, dance and drive each other crazy in ‘1776’ musical at Paper Mill Playhouse — Jay Lustig, NJARTS.NET)
“Liz Leclerc’s Martha Jefferson explains how her Thomas wooed and won her in ‘He Plays the Violin’, a song which, in its flirtatious implications, is both prim and rapturous.” (Bright as a sparkler, crisp as a musket shot, this “1776” is a delight — Allen Neuner, Out In Jersey)
