MAKING MIRTH ON THE MOVE: ...a uniquely Melbourne version of travelling theatre...this show (is) compulsive viewing. Some of the fun comes from the confusion between life and art. If you can drag your attention away from the drama inside the reactions of the passing motorists or genuine travellers trying to board constitute a comedy in themselves.
WORTH GOING ALONG FOR THE RIDE: . The show has everything. Colour movement, travel sickness bags and an interval at Young and Jackson's. Chris Boyd St. Kilda Times.
TRAM PLAY RUNS RIGHT ON TRACK: Even the threat of a tram strike could not put this show off the track... the zany cast provided plenty of mayhem for the travelling audience... Herald Sun Melbourne 23/1/1991
Melbourne's tramway system is one of the nine wonders of the world...something special also applies to the play Storming St. Kilda By Tram... The play captured the imagination of everyone who had ever ridden on the Met with its realism, wit and original lines.

Storming St. Kilda By Tram the successor of the 1983 production Storming Mont Albert By Tram was one of the major hits of the 1988 Comedy Festival as it captured the imagination of everyone who has ever ridden on the Met ! The production sold out prior to opening night, and TheatreWorks has been inundated with requests ever since, and in 1989 Storming St. Kilda By Tram was awarded the AWGIE for "Best Community Theatre Piece of 1988"
SHOW ON THE ROAD
...some of the most priceless moments as the action spills out of the tram between stops, are the looks on the faces of ordinary passers-by.

BEST THEATRE
The highly acclaimed hit opened a return season with a revised script. It promises once more to be one of the most vigorous pieces of theatre in town.
The Sunday Age 10/2/1991
Much pleasure comes from when the drama spills over to the outside of the tram - when one character screams abuse of 'I love you' out of the door at another character at another who has alighted - because the expressions on the faces of the people on the street is absolutely priceless, indubitably the most fun you can have on the Met.

SOAP OPERA ON WHEELS
The latest incarnation of Storming St. Kilda has a new cast (Cliff Ellen excepted), several new gags and a different ending. Paul Davies has polished his script. His talent for one-liners gets better each year.
