"Other characters with a stake in
the wedding day include theatrical
producer Feldzieg, played with
appropriate bombast by Cliff Bemis."
Solange De Santis, Theatremania.com
"Cliff Bemis, as the producer Feldzieg,
lends a big man's gracefulness to the
dance number 'Toledo Surprise'"
John Fleming, St. Petersburg Times

"One of the happy situations here is that the skilled character actors on whom
this kind of show most depends—such as Cliff Bemis and Georgia Engel—
are the very ones who value the tradition of top-drawer touring. They do
Drowsy proud in Chicago."
Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune



"Standouts include…imposing
theatrical impresario Cliff
Bemis (if you ever wondered
what Mike Ditka would look
like in a musical comedy, now
you'll know)."
Bob Verini, Variety
"...and who knew Mike Ditka
did musicals?  Actually it's
Cliff Bemis who plays the
producer."
Pittsburgh Gazette
"Cliff Bemis, a dead ringer for
Mike Ditka of football fame, is
a stitch as the harried
manager Feldzieg (Ziegfeld,
get it?)"
Greenville Online

My resemblance to Mike
Ditka was mentioned more
than a few times during
The Drowsy Chaperone
tour. The following clip is
an interview I did with the
local CBS station while we
were in Chicago with the
show.
