yes, i'm a wig builder/makeup artist. I handled the mother character. since hansel & gretel were both adult women everything else was scaled up to make them seem child size. the parents both wore painter's stilts and needed body parts that were scaled to match their height. I built her wig and did her makeup for the shows. here are a few shots:

and these are all from one of the first few dresses so it ended up a bit more refined
with hansel to show scale even up close

oh! and i'm not sure if you have any idea how the witch was pulled off but she houses 4 people inside her. the singer is her from the waist up. he's standing in what i believe are snowboarding boots mounted to a base. under that are the 3 puppeteers that drive her. they're all on some kind of a mount that they use for film cameras which explains the fluid motions of her dancing.
