Getting in character: Todd Sharman finds his place in 'Stayin' Alive: One Night of the Bee Gees'

Todd Sharman has always wanted a life on stage.

After decades of performing, he’s living the high life.

“I have the best time,” he says of touring the world. “To compare it over the years, it just gets better and better.”

Sharman is currently part of “Stayin’ Alive: One Night of the Bee Gees,” which makes a stop at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 23, at the KiMo Theatre.

The touring show is the ultimate tribute to the brothers Gibb and offers to their audiences the songs and sights of a full Bee Gees playlist, singing blockbusters such as “Night Fever,” “Jive Talkin’,” “How Deep Is Your Love,” “You Should Be Dancing,” “Nights on Broadway” and “Stayin’ Alive.”

In addition, they perform softer poetic ballads such as “I Started a Joke,” “Massachusetts,” “Fanny (Be Tender With My Love),” “Words” and “To Love Somebody,” among other great hits.

Sharman says the show is the largest of its kind, offering big screen video clips, photos and dazzling imagery. It has played intimate settings as a six-piece band and huge venues with a 62-piece orchestra.

Sharman portrays Robin Gibb, while Tony Mattina portrays Barry Gibb and George Manz portrays Maurice Gibb.

Sharman has been the mainstay of the show.

He says while the show grows and gets more attention, the trio is performing in bigger venues.

“It’s taken on a life of its own,” he says. “As we keep doing it, it gets better.”

Sharman admits when he was approached about doing the show years ago, it wasn’t on his radar.

“It definitely pulled me out of my comfort zone,” he says. “It was a challenge at first, but it got more interesting because the writing is so good.”

Sharman admires the brothers Gibb as they overcame many an obstacle over the course of their career.

“They became hugely successful in the disco era and when the tide shifted, they got a lot of backlash,” he says. “They found a way to still be relevant because their songwriting was that good. They were being pigeonholed as a disco band and that wasn’t true. Luckily, they found a way to work through it and maintain their status as one of the best writing groups.”

It’s difficult for Sharman to pick a favorite song, as he enjoys many of the Bee Gees’ songs.

The trio will soundcheck “Run to Me,” which really gets him excited about the show.

“Then there’s ‘Lonely Days,’ which is so full of harmonies,” he says. “I really kind of like the way they elevate those songs with the harmony structure.”
