“Lendzian as Leontes (Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale) gives another masterful performance. He is the most versatile male actor in town…Daniel has the Shakespeare chops to inhabit this mad man so intelligibly and completely, we seem to be watching him lose his grip, wit by wit… Lendzian speaks the verse with fluid naturalness, and doesn’t just blast off, he travels through the suspicion, to insecurity, to incredulity, on his way up to diabolical vengeance. Lendzian is the main reason to see this show although there are many…His convincing transformation into a man consumed and possessed by his inner demons and then morphing into a repentant King, Husband, and Father is as smooth as butter.”
— Anthony, Higgins, Buffalo Rising
“Lendzian’s turn as Sister Robert Anne, the eager understudy [and] his impressions, including Idina Menzel and Kim Kardashian, and a sweetly sung solo help him land the most comically sincere performance of the night. The whole show landed with ease, warmth and good humor.”
— The Buffalo News
