Cindy Lou Who's "Do"

Madeline King as "Cindy Lou Who" in
Georgetown Globe's Seussical

As chief investigative reporter for the "Behind  the Stage Door" newsletter and "The Green Room" blog, we knew our inquiring readers would want to know - how does Madeline King transform her hair into Cindy Lou's locks?

"Well, the first time we did it, I went to a hair dresser.  She rolled up her sleeves and started braiding.  It took a while but it was really fun," recalled Madeline as she mingled with well-wishers backstage at the Tuesday night rehearsal.   "Now my Mom does it for me. She is very good at it."

There were some indications that there are a few hair-do construction trade secrets behind the famous braids, but some things will just have to left up to the magic of theatre.

Seussical opens on Friday, March 11 at 7:00 pm and runs until March 20 at the John Elliott Theatre in Georgetown.
