Praise for Steve's production of hairspray

"Over the past decade or so, Steve Huntsman has worked his way into becoming one of our best local musical theater direct ors. Signature Productions' "Hairspray" is rich in all the things he does best: production numbers that come at you fast and seamlessly, exaggerated comedy rooted in reality, and nonstop zest that sends you home feeling life is good....
Let's just say Huntsman has guided a first-rate cast into first-rate performances. He makes you understand why the optimistic beat should never be stopped."
