Often times, people only use wigs to hide the wireless microphones on their heads.

The wigs are probably why Little Women closed.

Try Broadway Wig Company. I used them when doing Little Shop with my High School kids this year. They are awesome and have designed a hand full of shows currently on B'way. Robert Charles is a gret guy to work with. Audrey looked adorable and Orin was right on the money! Tell him Adele sent you......lol Good Luck

I don't think people in Ave Q wear them, at lesat it's not noticeable. Saw Stephanie up close at Birdland, she had same hair as on Ave Q.

I know that the only wig used in DRACULA was Tom Hewitt's white wig which was only used for the first 15, 20 minutes of the show.

the ave q people definately don't wear wigs, theres no real need to for the puppeteers and when the actual characters are understudied their hair styles differ from the usual ones

almost all the females in Movin' Out wear wigs (except for Elizabeth Parkinson in act 2). Its crazy that they do all those jumps and crazy turns and the wigs stay on.

The bodies of the wigs generally vary only in size, aside from custom coloring and styling. The hair is usually fake; holds the style better. The hairline is customized to the performer, handknotted to match and blend, on very fine net called lace. It extends maybe an inch, inch and a half, onto the performer's forehead, and is usually spirit-gummed down. Immediately after use, the wig is formed to a wigblock, the lace is pinned into place, and the style touched up. When the lace inevitably wears out, new lace is married onto the old, and the old is carefully trimmed away.
I'm always fascinated by the performers who know how to invisibly secure two mic packs, the wires and a headful of hair solidly enough to stay in place through multiple wig changes.
