I saw the show on preview night (yes, it's taken me this long to finally get to my reviews), but this show is still strong in my memory so I think that's saying something.
Cyanne's story pulled me in and kept me interested the whole way through. And knowing that this is inspired from a true to life experience I applaud her hard work and dedication to get her story up on the boards.
Cyanne is charming, spirited, and wonderfully energetic on stage. I look forward to seeing more of her work.

This year's Fringe darling doesn't disappoint! Cyanne's show is fun, funny, clever, touching and above all, heartfelt. Literally. Cyanne pours all that she has and is into this work and it shows. Can't say enough about how wonderful she is and how strong and moving her show is. Go see it!...

I loved the complexity, humor, vulnerability, feistiness and charm of Cyanne McClairian in I Died...I Came Back...Whatever. She brilliantly shared her struggles, questions, frustrations, joys and surprises while bringing to life a myriad of characters she easily flowed in and out of in a delightful, impactful and tender way! Please see this show! What a gift! Pam Paulson...

Cyanne's ability to instantly transform herself and change from character to character is a true feat - especially given that the characters she's created are so wonderfully different, varied, and nuanced. An impactful ride that will move audiences, and entertain them as well. Fantastic!...

To me theatre is best when the world around is suspended, and reality becomes only what is on stage. I Died… I Came Back… Whatever did just this. It feels as if you’re traveling along with Cyanne as she revisits her hardships, and her joys, taking small lessons from each scene. These lessons slowly build until there is a final grand lesson; a lesson that will touch your heart, or Cyanne’s heart. After all she was having heart surgery.

Cyanne Martin's one-woman show mixes warmth and humor with brutal reminiscences of a young woman dealing with heart surgeries from the age of three. Her take on heaven, though familiar, is hilarious, and could only have come from the mind of an actor. One can see traces of Bob Fosse, as well as "It's A Wonderful Life". Her performance is startling, moving effortlessly between well-physicalized and specific characters, as well as emotional peaks and valleys, at the drop of a hat. There was a technical glitch the night I went, (ah, live theater!) and Cyanne covered it with improvised humor that kept the audience rooted and in the moment. A great night of theater, and a spectacular accomplishment. ...

Kudos to Cyanne for bringing out the range of emotions that "that moment" brings to us all. It was a Bravura performance and well worth watching again by all./ C. Young../
Cyanne's Solo was outstanding. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Full of surprises, one minute sad the next hilarious and emotional. Also the variety of the many characters was astounding. Cyanne is certainly multi-talented and headed for Fame.
I definitely recommend seeing her story.../ S. Young...

An absolutely brilliant story performed with such passion. The talent level of Cyanne is through the roof! From the very second it started to the very moment it ended, I was completely consumed with emotion and couldn't take my eyes off of what was happening. The levels of emotion range from one end of the spectrum to the other. I would love to see this show continue on and be seen by the thousands of people it deserves to be seen by. Great job by the production as well. Everything was on point and not a single slip up. All around amazing show and I urge everyone to see it if they ever get the chance!

What a moving story. Cyanne McClairian is engaging, charming and completely fearless as she tells the story behind her own death and return... and more importantly, what happened in between. A heartfelt tale of hope and catharsis. Worth going just to watch her channel Sir Laurence Olivier. Bravo!...
