(The unofficial Frantics website has been hijjacked, but you can find some information here and at an archive of the site.)
The Frantics performed together for the first time since 1987 this past weekend, in Toronto. And I got to see it! I managed to grab the second last ticket to make it to their second show at the Tim Sims Playhouse on Saturday ("the end of our tour" one of them called it) and as I almost certainly don't need to tell anyone familiar with their work, it was an absolute blast! I'm paying for all the travel time now of course, staying up to finish an assignment at this time in the morning... but it was worth it.
Although seeing these people in person was exciting enough, both the material and performances were good as well. ( ... )
There were maybe one or two people younger than me, but they were dragged in by a parent. I recognized a lot of comedy and/or improv people. ( ... )
I met Rick, Paul, and Dan and got their got autographs for my CD[2], said hi to Peter again, and thanked them all for the show. Everyone was really nice ( ... ) Once I finally left, I wore a giddy grin for a good five minutes walk down King Street.
Eeee! *waves arms about, girly* (Again.)
[1] Why, oh why doesn't this guy perform more often? Not to belittle the considerable skill and talent of the other three, but I think that the customer reviewer on amazon.ca who keeps talking about the brilliance of Peter's performance is actually referring to Paul. And I'm inclined to agree that for versatility, especially in using his voice, Paul is the best in the troupe.
[2] Yeah, I couldn't help myself from asking for autographs. At least I kept the camera in my bag! As he signed, Rick said, "You know, this will be worth thousands of dollars eventually!" Dan started off with the same spiel but modified it to "This will be worth... well not much of anything, really." Well, it's worth it to me.
