Today was the last performance of the “Bad Seed”. After the show, Lee felt a little bit sad. It was hard saying “Goodbye” to the people she worked so close with for the past two month. But, with the offer already on the table, she is planning to be back at Nicu’s Spoon theater next year, appearing in 2012 spring production!
What reviews say:
*?? “Eleven year old Lee Eden, who plays Rhoda, shows maturity and talent beyond her years. She handles the more serious scenes in the play with such realism and intensity that I heard audience members talking after the show about how creeped out they were by this kid”, – Julie Feltman for “Theatre is Easy”: http://www.theasy.com/Reviews/badseed.php
*?? “Fortunately, S. Barton-Farcas, the director of the pitch-perfect production being done by Nicu?s Spoon, an off-off-Broadway company, has found the perfect Rhoda. Lee Eden looks even more sugary-sweet than Patty McCormack, who so famously played the role in the film. She also has down the sinister side-glance, the nasty smirk when no one?s looking, the nonchalance in the face of her very, very evil deeds. I wouldn?t be surprised to see this 11-year-old actress on Broadway very soon. I?ll be more surprised if I don?t (or when she grows up, Regina in The Little Foxes)”, – Steve Weinstein for EDGE New York: http://www.edgenewyork.com/?118367
