Hi this question is mainly for the people who saw Grease when Laura went on vacation. Since the understudies are blonde, did they wear blonde wigs or the same one Laura wears?
I don't know if blondes have more fun, but I think the audience would have more fun. A blonde is expected, due to the movie, and the color is more exciting.
Robyn is the current blonde, in a supporting role, and she throws off the balance of interest. Besides, when I last saw the show, Feb.14, she overacted shamelessly, trying to be young and dumb, I suppose. Forget young...in that cast, it doesn't matter. And if there's anything that a blonde should not do, it's TRY to be dumb.
Laura does NOT wear a blonde wig. She does wear wigs during the show, particularly for the final number, "You're the One That I Want."
That wig has a mind of its own and came off during one of the performances I saw.Of course, merciless ribbing was the order of the day after the performance!
