Elias wears a wig in the show. When she takes off her pin curls and wig cap after a performance, her hair is left rather unkempt, so she prefers to wear a turban to cover it up until she gets home.
The end.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.
I heard she has a dark wizard residing on the back of her head.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Speaking of turbans, does everyone know the story about Ethel Merman and Benay Venuta?
Ethel and Benay were going out after a peformance of "Gypsy" one evening. Benay went to Ethel's dressing room where she saw her struggling with a turban on her head, pulling locks of hair out from underneath it with a rat-tail comb.
Benay went over to her and said, "Oh, Ethel, that's not how you wear a turban. Let me show you," and she started trying to push the strands of hair back up under the turban.
Ethel pushed her hands away and shouted at her, "F*ck you, Benay! I need a little softness around my face."
She could use a little bedazzling on that turban though.
