Review: New York Herald, 01 May 1867, 7.

“A large and enthusiastic audience nightly applauds the new musical spectacular burlesque entitled the Forty Female Jack Sheppards, now being performed at this popular place of entertainment.  The piece abounds with capital local hits and sallies of wit, and is well put upon the stage.  The programme offers a pleasing variety of songs, dance and comic interludes, and cannot fail to please all who may visit Tony at his ‘Bowery home.’”
