"A triumph. The cast is all very strong...Ted Stephens III does
an excellent job as Daniel Boone, our cocky, vulnerable guide;
centering the story."

"...Ted Stephens III does star as Bobby Child, the Easterner
who finds himself face down in the heart of rural Nevada. A
wonderful singer, dancer and actor, Stephens’ high-energy
performance is at the center of all the action. He really can do
all three at once — a perfect 'theater three-peat' with
talent and verve to spare. He even plays a character who disguises
himself as another, and does an excellent job with that as well.
"A
fabulous romantic hero, Stephens plays Child as both sweet and
determined. He gives him drive and gentleness, and infuses his
work with a rich understanding of the character that comes through
loud and clear. And his footwork on the many, many dance numbers
is great stuff."

"...Ted Stephens III also turns in
superb work--giving an emotionally charged performance that careens from
comic to tragic with stunning accuracy--and he has a couple of solo
numbers that are incredibly intimate and powerfully moving. Stephens
also brings considerable talent to a couple of big dance numbers that
feature Swann."

"Ted Stephens is really the
standout bug, though. He plays Centipede, the self-appointed leader of
the bug clan. His strutting bravado and brash self-interest is as funny
as it is cheeky, and he has several musical numbers that show off his
attitude as well as his voice and dancing. In fact, Stephens manages to
make a centipede a pretty sexy thing to be (which is another plus for
some adult audience members), and--ranked for sheer, full-force,
energetic delivery--his numbers are the best in the show."

"Ted Stephens
III is another standout, as Stine, the fiction writer who tries to get
some of his work in the screenplay he is being paid to write. He plays a
lanky dweeb of a man, full of imagined strength and too-real weakness,
and pulls of the complex role with sensual, literary grace. He is also a
singer with an absolutely fabulous voice, and his vocal numbers soar
with supple, marvelous skill. His duets with Potter--"You're Nothing
Without Me" and its reprise--are gorgeous, fully-realized songs, good
enough to make you buy another ticket just to get to hear them again."

who comes roaring into Armadillo Acres looking for her."

"The pacing and
delivery really pick up as the show moves along, particularly when
Cassie (Claire Richards) and Glenn (Ted Stephens III) arrive. These two
performers play characters who snipe at each other with real
vengeance--an aspiring "senator" and his wife; the most realistic of all
the pairs you see here--and Richards and Stephens turn in first-class
work laced with acerbic, bitter undertones that are too distinct to
miss."

"Visiting actors
Stephen Barth (of Lincoln, Neb.) and Ted Stephens (of Davenport, Iowa)
played the father and son roles of Senex and Hero, respectively...Stephens' Hero exuded innocence and awkwardness."

"The finest work
in the show came from the men's ensemble during their song and dance
numbers, and from Ted Stephens, who starred as the ambitious Finch...Stephens made Finch actually likeable--even
occasionally winsome."
