Revisiting an email from the beginning of this show. Before the wig designer was hired. …oof. She never saw this assessment of mine….$50 per haircut. ha.
The wig budget for this show was originally $8,000, I think. and then it was $12,000. But really, it was $20,000. And should have been $40,000. It did end up being a very very full-wig show. Just the two ensemble men and the young Nat actor had their own hair onstage. How many wigs total? 14 I think.
