Brooke Wyndhams open the second act and takes it by storm! She explodes on the the stage with an upbeat song and two-part dance number featuring (often) jump ropes. Brooke is a Delta Nu. She is older than Elle, and finds herself in jail accused of shooting her “60 year old stud”. She owns a…
Since I just wrote a post about costuming Serena, it seems like I may as well cover the other Delta Nu’s. This post is more illustrative of what I did . . no great upcycles here. The Delta Nu Outfits I dressed the Delta Nu’s in shades of teal & coral. They were obtained from…
Serena is one of the three “main” Delta Nu’s, and arguably the “leader”. She is a cheerleader, and traditionally is dressed in a cheerleader uniform until her appearance in “Legally Blonde Remix”. She is confident, bouncy and very self-assured. She has no problem jumping around and acting like a stereotypical cheerleader (and quite possibly…
Paulette is one of the BEST characters in ‘Legally Blonde’. She has wonderfully powerful songs, a quirky character, and some of the best comedic lines. Her character can easily steal the show. I chose to see my Paulette as a Hippie-esque free spirit. At this point in the show the Harvard-types are in their staid…
“We’re doing ‘Legally Blonde’” announced the Director. Oh my heart smiled! How easy can THAT be? Contemporary clothes! Piece of cake! Elle wears PINK. Find a few pink outfits and we are GOOD.TO.GO. Well, in reality, Elle does wear pink. Elle actually wears A LOT of pink. Do you know how many shades of…
Our musical this spring is “Legally Blonde”. On the one hand, this was a welcome change from the period shows we have done the last two years (“Beauty and the Beast” and “Grease”). On the other hand . . there weren’t nearly as many fun costumes to make 🙂 The beginning starts with research:…
Corsets are perhaps one of the most identifiable “period” garments. They come in various shapes & forms and go by various names. They can go up over the shoulders, or simply go around the waist. They may extend down over the hips. They may stop under the bust, push the bust up, or squish the…
Costuming Belle is not a particularly creative project. Every small child who comes to see the production expects to see Belle wearing her iconic blue jumper with a blue bow and white apron. And, again, she is expected to wear a yellow poofy ball gown. There are some things you just can’t fight. THE BLUE…
“Be Our Guest” is one of the BPN’s as I like to call them (Big Production Numbers) in “Beauty and the Beast”. How do you turn people into silverware? And dance? On a budget? Seriously? The range of ideas is vast and there are many different interpretations, varying in complexity, cost and…
