NEW YORK (AP) — Will Swenson went from very hairy to virtually hairless in a matter of weeks.
He jumped from acting in "Hair" in London's West End in May to vamping in "Priscilla Queen of the Desert the Musical" in Toronto. Now instead of cultivating his curls, Swenson finds himself shaving — a lot.
"Definitely different from 'Hair' in that regard," says the Tony Award-nominated actor in an interview from Canada. "In 'Hair' they were like, 'Don't cut anything.' At 'Priscilla' they're saying, 'Cut everything.'"
