PETER LOPEZ uncertified reviewer June 09, 2015
What a delight! This performance is a smart, funny, entertaining and instructive biography of the music legend that not many of us know about. Not only are the musical pieces extremely well done, Cliff nails the various moods, body twitches, and personalities of the famed yet flawed talent of Bobby Darin. The audience gets a history lesson while being thoroughly entertained in this tight, well directed performance.... full review

Was blessed to see the preview performance of this amazing show. Yes, I did say amazing. Cliff Todd is s force to be reckoned with. Unbelievable singer, actor and dancer. I would call him a triple threat for sure. The story Cliff so brilliantly told was a story I had never heard before about a man that truly Rocked the world in music. You do not want to miss the golden opportunity to see a performer shine so bright and watch a story truly come to life with the flawless direction of Miles Chapman. Cliff Todd is undoubtedly "Bobby Darin"! ... full review

Such a great performance by Cliff Todd. The writing is amazing. We had such a great time....going back with 5 friends for his last performance. This should be in a bigger theater and reach more people. I don't think many people knew any of the history of Bobby Darin. Thank you for a great performance!!!!... full review

Perfect show for the Fringe! I think standing ovations are given out too easily in LA but this one is well deserved.... full review

We are not related to anyone in the show. For me, it was not overwhelming. For a Fringe show, it met expectations. 1) It started and ended on time. A plus! 2) The performer was trying to show us all of his impersonations not just Bobby Darin. ... full review

I attended the show at 9pm on 6/15/2015. I usually go to a show about a well known figure thinking I know the content. Boy was I wrong! Cliff Todd opened my world to a great performer in Bobby Darin with brilliant acting, singing and a stage presence that I won't soon forget! Bravo!... full review

From start to finish this one man show was dynamic, entertaining, clear, and focused. Cliff Todd moved around the stage with ease and he seamlessly transitioned from character to character. I was in awe. His voice is beautiful and I found myself wanting to hear more of it! Miles Chapman's direction was absolutely wonderful. Everything was so tastefully choreographed and nothing was gratuitous. The man clearly has a lot of talent. I hope this show wins as many hearts Off-Broadway as it has right here in Hollywood. Cheers!... full review

A consummate showman himself, Todd displays a vast array of talents here. He sings (of course), does impressions (including Al Jolson and George Burns) and projects an easy charisma with his depiction of Darin.... full review

Cliff Todd belongs on Broadway! Run, don't walk, to this well written, beautifully performed show. Even if Bobby Darin wasn't part of your musical vocabulary, you'll have a great time. The show is a well-timed combination of humor, wit, and pathos. I hope it wins a Best of Fringe award and is held over for additional performances, because I want my friends to be able to see it. ... full review

THE LEGEND OF BOBBY DARIN: AN UNAUTHORIZED AUTOBIOGRAPGHY (Platinum Medal) At first glance Cliff Todd comes across as the quiet, unassuming sort. Hardly the guy you’d think of in connection with Bobby Darin, the brash crooner of “Splish Splash” and “Mack the Knife” fame, who died tragically young at 37. But at the start of this loving bio-play of the singer, Todd is suddenly gone. There in his place is Bobby. Todd captures Darin’s singing style and mannerisms perfectly, and under Miles Chapman’s adroit direction, the transformation is stunning. My wife who is considerably younger than me wasn’t familiar with Bobby Darin. So she watched some videos on YouTube. She thought Cliff made a better Darin. For more of my reivews of the Ho... full review
