"The duo Alex & Olmsted — Alex Vernon and Sarah Olmsted Thomas — invented [Milo's] world, which includes other puppets made of cleverly repurposed materials. Milo... aspires to be an illusionist, and while his tricks and experiments rarely work out as planned, children will still find them magical."

“Weird and wonderful… an innovative romp through the nature and paradoxes of puppetry itself. It is clear why Alex and Olmsted have the Henson Foundation’s support — their work is a delight that pushes the boundaries of the art.”

...amusing, charming, delightful and, at times, utterly and completely astonishing...and I can say, with confidence, that they are out of this world." - Lorraine Treanor, DC Theater Scene

“...equal parts awkwardness and side-splitting laughter... You might expect sappy. It's not sappy. You might expect sentimental. It's not sentimental. You might expect predictable. It's not predictable. ...This team has an amazing mastery of their craft... each movement of each performer is so precisely choreographed that it resembles dance even when it isn't.”
