"We've done a number of events here at Egypt Valley over the years, and I've NEVER seen our members get so involved and excited!  It was wonderful to see them working so hard to solve the crime, and laughing so hard at the antics of the characters.  I HIGHLY recommend Todd Lewis and Ransom Note Entertainment to anyone looking for a night of entertainment unlike any other."

"Wow!  It looks like the Michigan public has really been looking for something this unique and fun for a long time! The response to this show was STELLAR! I even had a woman tell me that this was the best evening she'd had all year.  Yes, ALL YEAR!  As I looked out over the audience of 185 people, I saw nothing but huge smiles - from ear to ear. If you ever get a chance to see a Ransom Note Entertainment show like this, don't miss it!"

"I want to do it all again!  I'd heard about these murder mystery things, but I had no idea what it was really going to be like. And it was so much more than I ever expected.  What our group really loved the most was the way Todd and whole crew at Ransom Note Entertainment worked our company and employees into the show!  It was incredible!  It was so much more than just watching entertainment, it was like we were a natural part of it. A great time was had by all, and I would recommend Ransom Note Entertainment to anyone."

"What a great time!  Thanks, Todd, for putting together an evening of entertainment that none of us will ever forget!  And, believe me, I know it's not easy to get a room full of lawyers laughing and cheering all at the same time! Every character was a joy to watch, and we couldn't wait to see what happened next."

"I was so surprised to see how much our group got into this show!  Usually, they are very quiet, and kind of reserved, but as this show progressed, they were laughing and smiling, and really trying to solve the crime!  Anyone who's looking for a party should really talk to Todd at Ransom Note Entertainment."

"Todd Lewis and Ransom Note Entertainment made our Christmas Party one that none of my staff will ever forget! They're still talking about it!  What made it truly unique was the way Todd customized the show for my employees, even singling out one of them as a possible suspect in the fake crime. I haven't heard my staff laugh out loud like this in a long time! I can't recommend Ransom Note Entertainment enough!"

"I had no idea how funny a murder mystery could be!  Our guests were laughing themselves silly, and the characters you and your cast created were so real, so interesting, and so fun to interact with.  In fact, one of our guests, a woman who is generally VERY hard to please, called me the next day to say that this was one of the best nights she'd every had!  Plus, your professionalism is extraordinary.  We're so pleased we found you, and look forward to more of your entertainment."

"I've had the pleasure of working with Todd Lewis on two high-profile projects in the Grand Rapids area, and I am very impressed by his dedication to the craft of theatre. As a Stage Director / Choreographer, with a professional background in performing, I am always searching for outstanding talent.  Todd has the abilities to connect material with emotions, and conveys an instinctively truthful performance in which NOTHING is ever held back.  He possesses a strong sense of audience awareness that requires timing and experience, and he is equally comfortable with drama, comedy or musical theatre."

"Todd has worked with WKTV on a number of projects over the last four years, most importantly on the 'Magical Medieval Spectacular' and as the host of 'WKTV Presents.' Our experience with him has always been one of professionalism and dedication to doing his best in every way. I would recommend him and his work to anyone."

"Todd has been one of our strongest performers during the past five years. His work at Circle Theatre includes Nick Piazza in 'FAME,' Judas in 'Godspell,' and Count Carl Magnus in 'A Little Night Music.' This season, Todd will play the role of Billy Flynn in 'Chicago.' What has impressed me most about Todd is his consistent strength in all areas of performance. He is a fine actor who has performed a diverse collection of roles from Shakespeare to new plays. Todd has worked with a variety of directors, choreographers, and musical directors. He is known as an actor who works hard, learns quickly and fits in well with any ensemble.  His talent, energy and creativity would make a positive impact on any production."

"It is a pleasure to recommend the work of Todd Lewis. He is an actor of incomparable charm, energy, and instinct.  I was fortunate to direct his Benedick in 'Much Ado About Nothing' in the Fall of 2000.  Todd was simply wonderful. Not only as Benedick, but as a member of the ensemble. He is a generous, caring and supportive member of the cast.  Todd possesses the rare ability to be equally comfortable in the comic and serious moments of any show / any style. I've seen him perform many times, most recently as Carl Magnus in 'A Little Night Music.'  His beautiful voice and wonderfully fatuous performance made him the perfect foil for Frederick and Desiree, yet with dimension and a reality that truly paints a character. With Todd, one never gets caricature - he always delivers a person.  Todd Michael Lewis receives my highest recommendation."

"I have known Todd for more than ten years.  I have seen his work as an actor often during that time and have directed him three times, in 1991 in 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses,' in 1995 in 'Tent Meeting,' and in 1999 in 'The Herbal Bed.'  So I have also had ample opportunity to evaluate Todd as a performer and a person.  I would have no hesitancy in recommending Todd as a performer (and for that matter, as a person). He is extremely dedicated to his craft, hard working and diligent.  He is also very easy to work with and always assumes a leadership position in any cast. I have always found him to arrive prepared, ready to join the rehearsal, leaving his ego at the door, and becoming a vital collaborator in the process. Onstage, he is compelling to watch, magnetic and full of energy.  There have been several shows he has appeared in recently where his work was the outstanding performance (Macduff in 'Macbeth' at Heritage Theatre and Carl Magnus in 'A Little Night Music' at Circle Theatre are two recent performances that I attended where this was the case.)  He is an accomplished all-round performer, more talented than even he knows, and a very pleasant person with which to work."

"Todd's sense of timing continues to emerge. He understands how to deliver a punch line, be it comedic or dramatic. He knows how to give and take focus to share a scene. He understands the importance of doing one's homework and in maintaining a positive approach to the work. In 'Tony & Tina's Wedding', a show based largely on improvisation, Todd was one of the strongest ensemble members. In rehearsals, he understood the process and dynamics of improve, and created a multi-dimensional character with honest relationships to the other characters.  He continued to find new bits throughout the long run, and never did a sleepwalk through the performance. He gives 110% from opening night through to closing, with nary a complaint.
