Photos and Reviews

Excerpts from
Witty "Magic Bed"Brings Sweet Dreams
By Christopher Rawson, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

"Throughout the 80-minute show, I was looking forward to reading the original book it was based on--one of those Caldecott Medal winners, no doubt--to discover how much was Stevens' and how much the original's. Then I discovered the whole story is original with Stevens."

"I don't call this a kids' musical, because it's invention and verve make it an entertainment for any imaginative adult, as well."

"There is wit and story-telling richness in Stevens' plot and dialogue."
