SPONGEBOB THE MUSICAL

"... and Jennifer Ledesma, who is a certain scene star as whiny sperm whale spoiled daughter Pearl Krabs." - Philip Potempa, Chicago Tribune
"And as the script demands, Jennifer Ledesma truly wails every time she belts and riffs as Pearl Krabs." - Scott Gryder, PicksInSix

"...the always vivacious Jennifer Ledesma as his giddy daughter, Pearl." - Colin Douglas, Chicago Theatre Review

BITE: A Pucking Queer Cabaret

"Demi (Jennifer Ledesma) gets the single with the most emotional resonance of the entire evening..." - Stephen Best, Times Square Chronicles
"Jennifer Ledesma, as Demi, sings with fervor..." - Colin Douglas, Chicago Theatre Review
"... the Demi character... allowed to showcase her powerhouse vocals... Bouthiette too has a lot of fun with vocals, particularly those that spotlight the show’s strongest singers: Vitaterna, Webb and Ledesma."  — Lauren Whalen, Chicago Theatre Beat
"These songs are then arranged in a wonderful way to perfectly encapsulate the moments on stage, the most memorable of these being Demi (Jennifer Ledesma) and Lin (played by understudy Christopher Young) singing a longing duet made up of a mashup of popular songs." — Jerald Raymond Pierce, Chicago Stage Standard
Picture


"As the lovers make their entrances, each of them with an explosive talent of their own, whatever part of the bard’s script was left un-stretched gets flexible real fast. From Jennifer Ledesma and Melanie Vitaterna’s killer vocals, Caitlin Aase’s spectacular burlesque, and Will Kadza’s sad-sweet straight guy, these four accomplish a faithful portrayal of young and learning love." - Lucas Garcia, Third Coast Review

Little Miss Sunshine

Bit player Jennifer Ledesma nailed her cameo as the former Miss California, serenading the crowd with an overtly toothy grin while performing the original ditty 'Little Miss Sunshine.'" - Stephen Best, Times Square Chronicle 

​If/Then

"... Elena (Jennifer Ledesma), Kate (Bridget Adams-King), and Ann (Alanna Chavez) round out the cast of characters in Liz/Beth's lives while singing the heck out of the Kitt/Yorkey songbook." - Barry Reszel, Chicagoland Musical Theatre

The Little Mermaid

"Stacey Flaster and Joshua Castille have assembled a magnificent cast including the sisters (Amy Delgado, Trillium Falotico, Chase Infiniti, Jennifer Ledesma, Aubrey Trecek, and Meredith Wells) complete with harmonious voices and dance moves..." - Gayle Kirshenbaum, Chicago Theatre Review

The Hunchback of Notre Dame

"... Rudy Hogenmiller's 40-member cast includes a hugely talented ensemble, who effortlessly transform from Quasimodo's statuary companions into various Gypsies, soldiers, monks, and other Parisians. Among them is... Jennifer Ledesma, who makes a sassy, brassy Brothel Madame..." - Colin Douglas, Chicago Theatre Review

The View Upstairs

"... a strong ensemble made up of Matt Frye, Jennifer Ledesma, Ben F. Locke, Cari Meixner, Juwon Tyrel Perry and Roy Samra tell their stories without any dialogue." - Karen Topham, Chicago OnStage 
"The talented singing/dancing ensemble, comprised of Jennifer Ledesma, Cari Meixner, Matt Frye, Ben F. Locke, Juwon Tyrel Perry, Roy Samra, is brought to life through... plenty of spirited, adrenaline-pumping, retro choreography..."  - Colin Douglas, Chicago Theatre Review
"The entire ensemble is very good... too bad Vernon didn't give all of his characters some sort of backstory. Instead, they just become silent members of the ensemble... These five actors - Ben F. Locke, Jennifer Ledesma, Cari Meixner, Juwon Tyrel Perry and Roy Samra - deserve more." - Jeffrey Leibham, Around the Town Chicago
