Broadway Barbies

Maybe this should be OT. I don't know. Please spare me the harassment if I screwed up.

I'm building my 4-year-old daughter a stage for her Barbies for Christmas. The kid is really into musicals. I've found some collectible Barbie dolls with costumes from The Sound of Music and My Fair Lady.

Do any of you know of any others out there, or even sources for Barbie outfits that might resemble famous musical characters?

Any help is much appreciated.

Actually I saw they have a Tracey Barbie from "Hairspray" a couple weeks ago it was on clearance on Toysrus.com. The probably have Link too but I just saw Tracey.. Check out Amazon.com also.

I've never purchased thru this site, but there's a whole section of "pop culture and celebrity Barbies" that might have some of what you're looking for?

that Phantom one is vaguely disturbing.

I'm surprised at the number of people here who haven't heard of the Phantom Barbies. They've been around for a while.

Whoa, why didn't I know about this? This is cool! When I was in elementary school, all my best friend and I ever did was hold auditions for "Fiddler on the Roof" and "CATS" with Barbies, with three other Barbies as American Idol-esque Judges. (One of them was named Magpie, and we always made her the worst singer.)

The Tracey Turnblad Barbie idea is VERY interesting!

The (male) director of the production of "High School Musical" that I was in over the summer had HSM Barbies.

This is a fantastic idea, I am definitely stealing it for my niece!

And I had the Dolls of the World collection when I was little, this made me miss it!

The Grease movie Barbies are currently available. They have 2 versions of each, regular outfit and prom outfit, of Sandy, Rizzo, Frenchie, and Cha-Cha.

re: Broadway Barbies

At the moment it's only available at the theatre but there's an Ariel doll that resembles the costume worn onstage.

But this is a neat idea!!

re: Broadway Barbies

While I don't think they're Mattel the Hairspray film had a line of dolls. Link, Tracy, Edna, et al. And, if I'm not mistaken there's a Sandy cheerleader doll from the Grease film floating around somewhere.

While it's not from an actual Broadway show I think the "Solo in the Spotlight" Barbie could be a nice addition to your collection. I got the brunette one off ebay a few years ago.

re: Broadway Barbies

My father is a director/designer/costumer. He used to make and sell Barbie outfits 20 years ago, and he's willing to put together a few costumes from shows my daughter has been in, but Christmas is only a week away, so having some of these to "open" her theater with will make a huge difference on Christmas morning. You guys are great. Thanks again for all the tips.

re: Broadway Barbies

To be perfectly honest, I'm totally willing to spend over $200 on those Phantom Barbies.

re: Broadway Barbies

Madame Alexander has Wicked and Legally Blonde themed Dolls. They were pretty cute. Although might be a bit cost prohibitive if they are going to be played with.

re: Broadway Barbies

You can even make your own. A friends favorite musical is CATS. For her 60th birthday party a Grizabella cake topper was needed. I bought the Barbie size cat doll on Ebay for $7 and with acrylic paint and $4 worth of scraps from the fabric store I created Grizabella.
