Broadway Transformations
Most Broadway actors only need a quick brush of base and powder before stepping onstage. But a select few portray roles that require more than an hour of help from hairdressers, makeup artists and dressers.
We recently went backstage at four Broadway shows to witness this usually hidden process. While we were there, these talented performers discussed how dramatic changes to their hair, face, eyes and skin can hold the key to understanding the larger-than-life characters they play.
