Behind the scenes at Hamilton in the West End 

I've always been fascinated with backstage as the public rarely realizes the amount of work that goes into a show... And from looking at the program after I saw the Angelica tour a few months ago there's so much that goes on before the show they have to rent rehearsal Halls they have to have legal team of lawyers working on all sorts of things....the show it's a big business

BurrShotHam711 yeah

Nah Lin’s writing is not that pretty, check out the Hamilton making of documentary, they showed some of Lin’s scribbles. Omg now that’s some twisted fonts

BurrShotHam711 when I saw the show in Chicago it was completely different. Peggy had a shorter fro, and Eliza had wavy hair instead of pippa’s natural straight and Karen Olivo as Angelica had curls in her hair, I kind of like how the actors don’t need to look exactly like the obc, because I don’t think that standards should be set for what you need to look like as a black actor portraying a white figure. It’s all inclusive and that’s what I like most about the show

Lam Emma he did said that he had terrible hand writings when a fan went up to him to ask if he could write it down so he can get a tattoo of it

Probably is

Arent musicals with huge casts like that? Especially period musicals. Like Phantom, Les Mis...

I don't know, Savannah. I have never been in a professional production.

Most definitely. As a technician crew for shows you something have more crew/ costume assistances working on the show than actors!

KingdomHeartsFan3211 most likely

Hehe

I don't know hamilfan.

My client needs a strong defence, you’re the solution

Mia D sometimes it’s so that they can change hairstyles quickly. You can see this in the first vlog from Anastasia for Broadway.com.

Also maybe so all the hair for each actor or actres are the same

Also so that the wires for the microphones can be covered up. Thats why even though the wigs still look like their real hair they wear wigs.

It is because they hair can always look presentable and so that they can have the wires attached to them, but some actors don't wear wigs.

Mia D The original broadway cast wore their hair normally, just changing it up slightly if they had different character though.

Well America and England are bound together for the good and for the bad.

Savannah Is Not Voiceless original cast maybe

I know daveed used his own hair, im pretty sure anthony had to use a wog for phillip and lin used his own hair

bella bennett i feel a little lied to about Anthony

i’m a rock and i rock anthony did use one, he mentioned it once.

i’m a rock and i rock jonathan HAD to, cuz he was the king with the whole powdered wig thing

oof i live there i hope you can visit it one day

Philip is on the top right, and Eliza is farther to the right, but you can't see her there.

Meghan Lazzarini usually so the mic won't show

I’m pretty certain it’s actually because it makes it easier for each cast member to look presentable and the same from show to show. Especially with long hair, it’s difficult to get the hairstyle to look exactly the same as it did the previous night so they have wigs which are already styled and all the actors have to do is get their hair into pin curls then they are pretty much ready to go!

Keep in mind the time period that the show takes place and that hair styles were a lot different back then.

It's probably easier time-wise and easier on the actors' hair just to plonk a wig on top every day.
