Finger waves advice for a performance?

Hi ladies! 

I am about to style 5 different womens' heads of hair for a 1930's burlesque show, in about a week.  I have asked all of them to show up to the rehearsal the night before the show, with wet heads of hair - so I can set the front of their heads for an overnight finger wave setting. We are on a limited time budget for hair during the actual two shows, which is why I am setting their heads ahead of time...

3 of the 5 women have extremely thick and long hair, so I want to make sure that this would be optimal to set their hair while wet. Has anyone ever done this with their own hair? (An overnight setting?)

I am planning on using a massive amount of gel, and setting their waves with long bobby pins. 

Does anyone have any advice, or better suggestions? 

Thank you ladies!

Bonnie B. :)

I have hair down past my bra strap and wet finger waves or pin curls do almost nothing. Usually it causes my hair ti not dry. I would suggest a damp set with foam rollers or wet set on vented rollers with heated dry, or use hot rollers day of.

Not really, except on the shorter hair, half of the problem seems to be the hair doesnt dry all the way when it is really long.
