My overall impression

Excellent story-telling by Bill Ratner. Great impersonations of Desi Arnez and dear old Uncle Bobby the Bellboy. Great observations about Hollywood; like any great story, there were great anecdotes (i.e., how the interventionist who showed up in a jaguar for Bobby looked so familiar because he happened to have been in Jail-House Rock with Elvis Presley!). And of course, Bill exposes us to the dark side of Hollywood and we see just how success and failure can be one and the same. Bobbywood was heart-felt and funny. Bill kept his audience captive and me at the verge of tears towards the end. I am really glad I went to see this performance.
