Audience comments on the opening night of Brothers Grimm


Well, it has all been a bit of a whirlwind, but we opened "Brothers Grimm: 200 Years and Counting" tonight at Petro Canada Hall.  We got some great comments in person after the show, and some people left comment cards at the ticket desk.  A selection of those comments follows:

I liked it very much indeed. Well done! I have my childhood copy of Grimm’s Fairy Tales.

Great! I really enjoyed the weave of music and storytelling and history.

Greatly enjoyed myself. Only wish there was more of the same, looking forward to more.

Really love it! the songs were great, the musical sound effects and the sound of the birds just added to an overall atmosphere of magic and AWESOMENESS.

Fabulous - learned a few things about the Brothers Grimm that I didn’t know. Very well put together! Bravo

Excellent show! Really enjoyed how the songs were planned into the format, along with the stories.

Very entertaining and informative. Thank you for a wonderful evening out.

Great show! I appreciate the cultural background!

Awesome performance! Love the music with the tales.

Excellent, I really enjoyed everything about it. I love Folklore and German. It combined my two favourite things!

Loved the show, will spread the word for the show tomorrow.

Thoroughly enjoyable evening. Great stories and music.

On that note, we have one night left, Thursday, Dec 6, 2012. The show is at 8pm, at Petro Canada Hall, at Memorial University's School of Music. Tickets are $20 and available at the door. See you there!

I'll be picking a winner from each night, from those people who filled out a comment form. They will each receive two tickets to my next show, "Thor vs. Loki" - coming to a stage near you in Spring 2013.



The Brothers Grimm opens tonight! Petro Canada Hall 8pm


Well, it has been a long time coming, but our two-man show "The Brothers Grimm: 200 Years and Counting" opens tonight in St. John's. We've performed the show in Ontario, Quebec and Alberta, but this is the first time we've performed it at home.  I'm thrilled to be able to perform it this December, as this month is the 200th anniversary of the Grimm's now famous fairy tale collection, Kinder- und Hausmärchen.

The show follows the lives of the brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, and their incredible true life story is interwoven with their stories, legends, and music of the period.

We are running for two nights only, December 5th-6th, at 8pm at the Petro Canada Hall at Memorial's School of Music. Tickets are $20 and available at the door.

Delf and I truly hope to see you there!
