"Rarely is attention paid to the Wig Designer of any production, but attention must finally be paid to such a person, at least in regards to this production. Alison Samantha Johnson and Austin Blake Conlee go the extra mile to provide authentic-looking, carefully styled, and meticulously placed lace-front wigs upon characters to really settle them into their niche. The two most praiseworthy are the distressed, frazzled red locks seen on Squeaky Fromme and the manicured curly coif of John Wilkes Booth. It’s easy to muss a healthy wig and throw it on someone’s head, but Johnson and Conlee take care to give that fried, unkempt look to Squeaky Fromme’s hair piece without giving the character a slovenly appearance. And given the intimate distance of the actors to the first few rows of audience, Johnson and Conlee’s work is that much more appreciated for its professional appearance." Amanda Gunther, Theatre Bloom

​"The brilliant set designer, James Kronzer, costume designer, Kathleen Geldard, wig designers, Alison Samantha Johnson and Austin Blake Conlee plus lighting designer, Chris Lee, through apparent simplicity have created a versatile and otherworldly place for these deranged souls in which the audience can appreciate and get to know them." Sara Dudley Brown, The Zebra

"There is some over-the-top attire that curators of the Met Gala should come down to see. Tip-of-the-hat to Erik Teague for his vision and implementation and to wig designer Anne Nesmith." -David Siegal, DC Metro Theatre Arts

​"The costumer, Erik Teague, and wig designer, Anne Nesmith, must have put in many creative overtime hours on their special designs for this production! Blackbeard’s wig seems to take on a life of its own." -Sara Dudley Brown, The Zebra
