Before anyone else asks, like I was about to -- yes, Pitre DOES wear a period wig in the show, unlike on this dress rehearsal video of "It's Today":

Actually, she doesn't. I was there for the first preview and they ended up changing the wig - it now looks like her real hair, which is much, much more flattering. And it looks period enough.
The important part is - Louise is SENSETIONAL as Mame, and Judy Blazer is a complete hoot. I loved the entire production and plan on visiting it again as soon as I can!
"Years from now, when you talk about this - And you will - Be kind. "
I stand corrected and thank you for the advance info. I have just cancelled my ticket order as I refuse to see a production of MAME without a Mame Dennis sporting a short 20-30's era coiffure.
Thank you again.

Having seen the show already (and planning to see it again!!), I'll admit that wasn't the best clip to use to promote the show. It truly is a stunning production - Louise and Judy are stellar. Wait till the reviews come out...... just sayin'...
But why would anybody post a promotional clip where the orchestra sounds like crap (seriously, are those professional musicians?), and Louise looks like she's dressed for the gym ... hardly a "dress" rehearsal.
I have seen plenty of horrible wigs on stage, but I wouldn't not go see a show just because of one finale wig.

It looks like she is wearing a wig, that look exactly like her own hair... REALLY?!
