Fastest quick changes

Posted: 5/12/08 at 8:50pm

With the Shortest and Longest on stage time treads, it got me thinking about the fastest quick changes on Broadway.

The few that come to mind for me are:
-Christine’s in POTO during Think of Me
-Adelaide in Guys & Dolls after “Mary the Man” in to the Finale

There are a LOT in Dreamgirls that Theoni V. Aldredge did with magnets (a common use on costumes that are required to be quick-changed nowadays).

Christine's is easy all they do is snap a bigger dress on her.

I'm pretty sure those in cap and gowns already have their pink underneath.

Well, isn't there a pretty quick change during the opening number in LEGALLY BLONDE?
There's also the Witch's transformation in INTO THE WOODS.

Not really, They actually showed that change on the MTV showing if I am thinking of the same thing. But are you talking about the sliding down the pole? Because that is two people I believe.

I meant the one at the store she goes to get a dress. I only saw it on the MTV performance so not sure that they do it in the actual show.

The title of the thread, Drunk Chita Rivera, is "fastest quick changes". As far as I'm concerned, all of these are quick changes. Just because the costumes are layered, doesn't make it any less of a quick change.

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist. Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino. This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more. Tazber's: Reply to Is Stephen Schwartz a Practicing Christian

Laura already had the dress on under the dress she has on. Amber goes behind her and snaps the dress off and wraps it around the one she brought out.

I'd like to know how Glinda gets out of the bubble dress and into the Shiz uniform so quickly, especially since the bubble dress is so massive.

Yeah, I think the fastest I know of are the Drowsy and Dreamgirls ones.
