Sofie Asplund and Micaela Sjöstedt, from the Gothenburg production. Micaela was also u/s Christine for the production. She understudied Christine in the Stockholm production as well.

Waiting for the day we get a Christine with an Ariel-red wig in a replica production

I feel we got the best of two worlds with Harriet Jones' first super-auburn wig in West End. It was so dreamy and pre-raphaelite in look, I would love to see more of wigs in that vein.

But yeah, here's some more Ariel red wigs from non-replica productions; first being Sofie Asplund from Finland/Sweden:

And Sara Ollinen from Kristianstad/Sweden:

Not counting the Carlotta shoes (!!!), this is the only costume I genuinely like from the Finnish/Swedish non-replica production. Nice details, and a nice rose colour towards the reddish Christine wig. So here’s a photoset!
