After the first photo of Allison Williams in costume as Peter Pan surfaced, Williams sat down with the TODAY show to talk shop about getting into character.
"I sort of very tentatively offered to cut my hair, I was like, 'You know, if it's a thing that would help I could cut my hair,' and they were like, 'You're welcome to do that, we're still gonna put you in a wig,” said Williams.
Her costume, then, will consist of a green vest, tight knee length short and brown leather boots. And to top it all off, Williams will don a wig with a side part.
Al Roker had to get up and personal, asking about her daddy NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams.
“Has Papa Williams been turning up during rehearsals to play Captain Hook?” asked Roker.
"I cannot confirm nor deny, but I can deny that," she said. "No, he's pretty busy. I will be doing my own thing."
While Williams is best known for her role as Marnie Michaels on the HBO series "Girls,” "Peter Pan Live!" executive producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron called her a "major find" for the special.
"She will reinvent the iconic role of Peter Pan with her wit, her warmth, her dynamic flying and her wonderful musical abilities," said Zadan and Meron last month.
Williams claimed she has wanted to play Peter Pan since she was a very young girl. And in July when the official announcement came that she was cast for the part, Williams shared an image of herself as a young girl dressed as Peter Pan on her Instagram.
The caption read: "I've been rehearsing for a REALLY long time."
"Peter Pan Live!" will air December 4 on NBC.
