BWW Reviews: Joyful HAIRSPRAY Revival Gets Hold of O.C.

Nonetheless, not even the supposed ghosts that haunt the venue can dampen the high spirits of this fun, bubbly show. By the time HAIRSPRAY reaches the apex of its final song, literally erupting into a full, on-stage party—complete with confetti cannon—you really will wish the show... "can't stop the beat." It's a guaranteed feel-good time.

He's sung everything from Broadway, Jazz, R&B, Classical, Gospel and Pop.

The performing bug eventually brought him a brief championship run in the Philippines' version of "Star Search" before moving to Las Vegas at age 11. College brought him out to Orange County, California, where he earned a BFA in Graphic Design and a BA in Film Screenwriting. He has spent several years as a designer and art director for various entertainment company clients, while spending his free time watching or performing in shows.
