To achieve the hair-raising look of many of John MacFarlane’s character designs, wigs are created by outside companies before being styled by Birmingham Royal Ballet’s Wigmaster Henry Menary and Assistant Lauren Fitzgerald.
Above you can see one of the hairpieces as it arrives at Company HQ, coloured but unstyled before Henry wraps it in curlers. Below you can see examples of some finished items, including the lofty wig for one of Cinderella’s sisters as seen in this fitting gallery!
Finally, here’s Henry himself, waving a big hello to his brother in Peru!
