I heard a story that I'm having a hard time believing. Can anyone confirm this:
No makeup on guys in a Broadway show!
This came 2nd hand and that it had something to do with the lighting. Now as an old lighting guy I find it hard to believe. The show is a musical and tends towards the realistic but still. The shear intensity of the lights traditionally requires exaggerated features to carry to the back row. Am I out of the loop? I trust my source but they aren't technical folks. I don't want to mention the show so as not to cause anyone trouble. So I'm hoping for some consensus.
