Karen Tortora-Lee’s Question
That’s some title. How did you come up with it – and what does it mean?
Andrew: Our show is inspired by the Grimm Brothers fairy tale The Musicians of Brementown, sometimes referred to as the Traveling Musicians. While the title is not terribly original, we hope our animal glam rock band interpretation is.

Diánna Martin’s Question
If you were going to invite five people, anyone from past and present, to see your FRIGID show – who would you invite and why?
Andrew: The Brothers Grimm of course. Hopefully Jacob and Wilhelm would be pleased, and a little surprised. Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo and his Harem of Chickens. They would understand our show on the deepest level.

Antonio Minino’s Question
What is the biggest sacrifice you’ve ever made for your Art and was it worth it?
Andrew: We once carried a male mannequin half way across the continent by train. Early one morning at the Minneapolis train depot the man took one look at the wooden foot sticking out of a re-purposed guitar case and said, “we can’t check your wooden leg sir.” A few crocodile tears later, they did check our wooden leg. And the rest as they say, is history. Worth it? You bet your leg.

Geoffrey Paddy Johnson’s Question
Was there any unexpected discovery made during the development of this production and, if so, can you share it?
Andrew: Many unexpected discoveries, many we can not share, but we can tell you this: animals do it best. And yes, by “it” I do mean perform in a theatrical rock band. Believe me, we were as surprised as you are now to learn this.

Michelle Augello-Page’s Question
What do you hope the audience receives from the experience of seeing this show?
Andrew: We sincerely hope to melt your beautiful faces off with our fiery blast of rock.
