ALSO, DOES ANYONE HAVE A TRICYCLE WE CAN USE? PLEASE LET ME KNOW. :)
I am still looking for a couple of volunteers for Saturday night. Thank you in advance to all who have offered to help me backstage. I will be in touch with each of you with a full schedule soon.
Below is a list of hair and makeup by character from Samantha. If you have any questions, you can reach her at samwowza@gmail.com.
In addition, you can refer to this helpful YouTube video:

Obviously, we aren't using this makeup or these colors, but it gives a general idea. :)

Stage Makeup Instructions for Seussical Cast from Samantha:
A basic stage makeup instruction sheet and video tutorial has been posted on the blog. EVERY CAST MEMBER should come to call times and final dress rehearsal (Thursday) with basic stage makeup on and ready to go.Girls: Feel free to follow the instruction sheet and tutorial. One step to remember, fill in your brows to help frame your face. On the lipstick, please DO NOT use glossy lipstick and please choose a pink or light red shade. Even though it is stage makeup, we want all cast members to look natural – not overly made up.
Boys: Slightly different – fill in your brows, add mascara (optional), add blush to create rosy cheeks, and add a nude or light colored lipstick.
The only exception to everyone arriving with basic stage makeup is The Cat and The Grinch. Please arrive with your face clean, and I will apply your makeup.
I will be adding finishing touches and enhancements to each character and character group after they arrive, including: Horton, Gertrude, Mayzie, Sour & Baby, Mr. & Mrs. Mayor, JoJo, Wickershams and Bird Girls.
Thank you for your help and cooperation. If you have any questions, you can email me at samwowza@gmail.com.
