Wigs in theatre

Rock of Ages is a musical currently playing at the Garrick Theatre in London. 


It features rock music from the 80s and the cast are all done up to look like stereotypical 80's rockstars. Wigs are used to recreate the big and dramatic hairstyles from this era.

Tom Watson is the head of wig department for the Rock of Ages. He is a huge name in the business and has worked on over fifty Broadway productions also including Wicked and A Tale of Two Cities. Kelly Treacher is one of the wig mistresses to have worked within this production.




Wicked is currently running at the Apollo Victoria Theatre in London and features wigs by Tom Watson also. Natalie Danielle is one of many wig dressers who has worked on the production while it's been in London.
