Liz Sheridan Has A Talent That's Too Large To Share
(San Juan Star, 2/04/65) -By Jim Douglas

Someone, some day will put together an act for Liz Sheridan for herself alone, solo, with no others, for the small stage in Le Club at El Convento.
Opening with three others in the new Lamplighters review Monday evening, her talent came on too large to share.
This isn't to demean her partners - Lou Ogilvie, Fred Chappell and Art Sollitt. It's just that Liz is a very funny girl and her public deserves more, perhaps a single. I, for one, would shell out $20 to see this girl perched on a stool in a 90-minute act. There were nearly two dozen bits to the review, entitled "Indecent Exposure," or "I Left Her Behind, Unprotected." She did two which endeared her forever to the audience. In one she lamented the departure of a boy friend named Morris. Alone on the stage, one could feel her loss when she moaned, "Oh, Mooorrrrriiisss was nice."
She teamed with Chappell, a strong personality with a sturdy voice, in a parody on soap opera love. Their affair was based on the fact they both just loved to smoke. But the romance broke up when he discovered she had no background. She never knew the days when Lucky Strike Green went to war, when cigarettes were tobacco and not filters. It was easily the best thing of the 50 -minute production.

Theatre Reviews
(Drama-Logue 5/81) - By Polly Warfield

The play contains many such wonderful lines, served up sweet and sour on Jewish wry by actress Liz Sheridan as Golda. Her credible and creditable portrayal is enriched with fine moments, as in her beautifully timed and controlled recital of the horrible litany -- Belsen, Treblinka, Buchenwald, Dachau -- delivered in a deliberate, measured pace, with the pauses as eloquent and unfaltering as the words. The infamous names are engraved in Israel's Hall of Remeberence, "and just outside, for very little money, you can buy a very good knish. Because life goes on." So Jewish. Because (again Golda says it) "We have always lived close to death and loved life the more."
…Sheridan does build in power and emotion toward the end, give the humor its due, and finally - "It was worth it! Shalom! Shalom! Shalom!" - stirs depths. Above all her Golda enjoys being Golda, and rightly so.

"Pick a Number"
Real Choice - by Judith Crist

Liz Sheridan, a glaze-eyed comedienne with a fine voice for operatic mockery, makes "Autumn at the Automat" particularly her own and is a delight in Ted James' "Checkbooks and All That," as a bank's fashion consultant and color coordinator who subscribes to the theory that "you and only you must live with your checks."
(review of Julius Monk's "Pick a Number XV")

(New York critics who saw Liz Sheridan's sterling performance in
Julius Monk's giggly "Pick a Number" at his Plaza 9 Room described
her as a mature Barbara Streisand and the best comedienne in the show.)

 

Actress saves "Golda's" shine
(Stage in Review) - by Rick Talcove

If ever a single, praiseworthy performance saved a less-than-noteworthy script, it is surely actress Liz Sheridan's eloquent and dynamic portrayal of Israeli prime minister Golda Meir in William Gibson's helter-skelter biographical drama, "Golda," now being staged by the New Artief Players at the Pan Andreas Theater in West Hollywood.
… actress Sheridan makes the most of the central character and her Golda is a tower of formidable strength and dramatic conviction. Let Sheridan be confronted with the obstacle of an awkward transition or a flat, uninteresting speech and she vaults it with the stamina of an athlete.
