Michael Hunsaker Actor - Playwright - Composer/Lyricist
  

Falsettoland Benefit concert for Miracle House.

Me with Colin Hanlon and Zachary Allen.


"Agony" Patrick Leveque, Christiane Noll, and me

"Michael Hunsaker is wonderful as the prancing Cinderella's Prince, and he exhibits his unthinking selfishness when he says "I was raised to be charming, not sincere."
- Talkin'Broadway.com

"Patrick Leveque and Michael Hunsaker as the arrogant princes give a glorious rendition of "Agony," a lovely ballad that provides us with a glimpse at what men really think when no one's around to listen."
- Mountain View Voice

"Dual princes Patrick Leveque and Michael Hunsaker are appropriately hunky, with honeyed voices and hysterical, balletic leaps. Their duets are terrific highlights."
- Palo Alto Weekly

"Patrick Leveque (Rapunzel's Prince) and Michael Hunsaker (Cinderella's Prince): Both the actors who portrayed the Princes had a wonderful sense of timing and delivery to get every bit of humor out of their lines. I didn't think it was possible to laugh any harder during "Agony" or "Agony (Reprise)". They are also both very strong singers which helped a lot in getting the proper diction without over-enunciating. It was also really funny the way both Princes (but especially Cinderella's Prince) leapt on and off stage -- doing this large, very ungraceful (but looks deliberately that way), stag-leap-type thing. Cinderella's Prince also had this way of shifting his weight from one foot to the other that was like a mini-leap in itself that was absolutely funny because he would do when you would least expect it."
- Some online reviewer (random but so nice :)

Shakedown Street at the FringeNYC

"More ambitious than your average jukebox musical, "Shakedown Street", about a raggedy gumshoe (Michael Hunsaker) on a hunt for rare art with connections to California's Spanish missions, turns a clutch of Grateful Dead tunes, including the title song, into a jazzy jump-blues score for a noir narrative set in the San Francisco Mission District in 1941, decades before patchouli and tie-dye... The gambit works remarkably well, on a musical level. Though not quite show tunes, rootsy Dead classics like "Truckin' " and "Scarlet Begonias" settle comfortably into this time warp, and so do ballads - "Stella Blue," "Mission in the Rain."
- New York Times

"Hunsaker came onto the project just a week before opening night, and gives a nearly perfect performance in both song and prose."
- New York Cool

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (Brick)

"...it is the luminous performances by the Michael Hunsaker and Melissa Kite... that give Hot Summer Nights patrons more than their money’s-worth in this stellar production"

"New York actor Michael Hunsaker earned his bow with a charismatic characterization of Brick."
- Classical Voice of North Carolina

Promo shot for
The Tragic and Horrible Life of the Singing Nun

"Father Lyon (Michael Hunsaker) has a great voice and is the sexiest priest I’ve ever seen. Bless me Father for I have sinned yet again."
- Talk Entertainment

"And the cad named Father Lyon, a stud muffin of a priest, is played with enough oily charm by Michael Hunsaker to make him the priest you love to hate."
- BroadwayWorld.com

AIDA with Adrian Zmed

As Lancelot in Camelot Starring Debbie Boone

"Guest star singer/actress Debby Boone may be billed above the title of the current North Carolina Theatre presentation of Camelot, but she must share the spotlight with two stellar performers: newcomer Christian Whelan, who plays the idealistic King Arthur, and NCT veteran Michael Hunsaker, who plays Arthur’s impossibly virile right-hand man, Lancelot du Lac. This heavenly trio makes beautiful music -- and forms a tragic Love Triangle -- together.
