Costume Inspiration: How'd you do that Who hair?

With Halloween right around the corner, costume shops like Spirit of Halloween popping up everywhere you look and lines out the door at Party City, it seems like a good time to show off some pictures of one of our our most impressive stage makeup and costuming efforts of our season.

If you didn't get to see one of our four Mainstage casts of "Seussical! The Musical," you missed seeing how we translated Dr. Seuss's beloved characters, with their signature look often appearing as elongated foreheads in illustration, into hair and makeup. This was especially true for the Whos of Whooville and the Sour Kangaroo (and her baby.)

Do you want to know the secret? Empty water bottles and pipe cleaners! Here are some photos taken both backstage and during the show for inspiration...

Special thanks to our amazing costumer Terri Canziani, seen here with her talented daughters Jamsine, Rebecca and Samantha, all of whom performed with Cast D.
