Critic and Audience reviews on this Victorian musical comedy filled with Vctorian songs, costumes and abundant references to wine, beer and spirits

Reviews and Testimonials

Staged by a quartet of classically trained singers in period costumes, this bizarre but entertaining offering is a blend of theatre, fervent anthems of sobriety and audience participation…. It's fun! Desmond Ryan The Philadelphia Inquirer
	"I really enjoyed your performance. It's is so appropriate for MAC. Our guests had a hoot. Many of them have been in town for several days because of the Food & Wine Festival and when I run into them, they are still talking about it. I can't wait till the Victorian Week performance." Mary E. Stewart, Deputy Director Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts Cape May New Jersey
Four vocally gifted artists perform a *robustly sung production,* poking fun at the Temperance Movement. The dialogue is campy and cute. The songs are the high point - each was given gracious and harmonious attention. Gabriel L. Nathan The Philadelphia City Paper
		"Everyone loved the production, especially Mark (owner of the venue, Upstage Restaurant)....I will gladly give you a recommendation if you need it." Pat Durbin Chairwoman Port Townsend Victorian Festival, 2006

		"Ida and I were terribly impressed with the Temperance Tantrums performance at the Upstage Restaurant on Saturday night. The writing, timing, musicianship, and overall staging hit the mark with professional flair. It was hard to believe you had just a few days' rehearsal on site with the complete cast. It's also impressive that you sold out the house three nights in a row. The word was out on the street that your show was a winner. All our friends that saw it liked it as much as we did. You had the right mix of humor, music, and outlandish deportment to pull it all together with style. You all deserved the rounds of applause that followed you off the stage. Hope we get to deal with you again in the future." Flip Wingrove Committee Member Port Townsend Victorian Festival, 2006
