  • 1.  Wigs (Annie and Men)

    Does anyone have a tip of where to look for an Annie wig that looks realistic? I'm thinking we need two one for when she's an orphan and one for after her Warbucks makeover. 

    Also always looking for quality men's wigs. We're an all girl school, so we often have girls playing boys. I can never seem to find good men wigs. 

    Thanks for any resources you can offer!

    Hi Kristi,

    I've always had good luck with wigs for men and women throught the Costumer in New York.  You can find them online at The Costumer - America's #1 Source for theatrical, seasonal and masquerade costumes plus makeup, wigs, hats, props and accessories. 

    You can also call them and ask advice for specific needs. They are extremely helpful and know their stuff.

    Kristi,

    I also work at an all girls school so I feel your pain! I have had a lot of good luck ordering wigs from Sammy Dress (sammydress.com). The only issue is that it can sometimes take a while to ship--They are located in China I believe.

    Over had good luck with Wig America. Ask about wholesale prices since you're a school. Their web site is less than fabulous but they're real people and a small company. In CA I think.
