Reviews of Other Freds

"A laugh-out-loud, only-in-Vancouver experience to be savoured by all who step with it...words can't do justice to this upbeat carnival about the limitless possibilities of life. This is one more feather in the cap for Fanconi, and another big boost for our city's crazy creativity."
-Peter Birnie, The Vancouver Sun

"Absolutely exhilarating...a crescendo of comic brilliance...a huge musical celebration that has all the stars in all the universes aligned in glorious harmony."
- Jerry Wasserman, The Province

"The strengths arise from the excitement of this being a site-specific work, the weaknesses are a function of the show's lack of narrative cohesion. It all comes together beautifully in the end, though. It also finds spectacular theatrical expression."
- Colin Thomas, The Georgia Straight

"Moments of pathos that leave you absolutely heartbroken. Lively and comical...an exploration of potential and kinetic energy unfurled by very physical and acrobatic performances. Dazzling musical score: playful, clever, archaic, and brilliant. Go see it, all you Freds of the world."
- Kulpreet Sasan, Review Vancouver

"This show is ambitious-and at times ridiculous-in its scope, but Ms. Fanconi, with the help of an amazing number of performers and community members, pulls it together beautifully. The fact that you're scouring the skyline looking for possibilities is the point. This is the kind of show that those people who ask 'why is art important?' need to see."
- Heather Cant, The Boards
