It's probably a form of layers, like I said before, they can hide a lot under that dress.

During the LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS revival, Douglass Sills had several very fast costume changes during "The Meek Shall Inherit"

"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."
Yeah. And from where I was sitting, I could see the girl hiding on the pole.

The Jersey Girls in Jersey Boys have some ridiculous ones. When I was backstage they showed me something like 40 costumes and 12 wigs and pairs of shoes for each girl. I think that Jennifer Naimo had a really ridiculous one somewhere that didnt involve layering and was 7 seconds.

One of the quickest was the cast of "Titanic" who first played the 3rd class passengers, then came back and played the 1st class passengers.

This is unrelated, but I think of those magic tricks where the magician throws a fringed hoop around a lady and her dress and wig instantly change.

Elle has 3 pretty quick changes.
The first one is onstage during the opening number.
The second one is during Chip on Your Shoulder where she goes from the bunny outfit to tight jeans in a shirt while in a closet, continuing dialogue.
The third is at the beginning of Legally Blonde Remix where she goes into the closet and comes out 5 seconds later in a pink suit.

According to the guiness book of records
I think Our House has the fastest quick change
4 seconds I believe...
I read it a while ago, so it may have changed since
Also i'm only half sure it was Our House

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.
I reckon Shiz skirt+shoes are already on under the bubble skirt, which is separate from the top. Bubble skirt comes off, bubble collar detaches, Shiz jacket goes on over the top of bubble corset, wig is pulled off and thrown on. Not that I think about these things too much, you understand. ^_^

The 'Our House' quick change can be seen on the DVD of the show!
A young actress with Noel coward after a dreadful opening night performance said to him 'Well, i knew my lines backwards this morning!''
Noels fast reply was ''Yes dear, and thats exactly how you said them tonight'!'

Outdamnwench,
Elle's changes aren't really that quick. As others have said, the pink dress is underneath the white one and they just pull it off with magnets.
The second one...she has quite some time for that change since she's behind the wall. =
UM. The last one she doesn't change at all. She just takes off her coat. It's not a suit, it's a dress...which is clearly visible under her coat when she walks in (if you're in rush seats).

All of you are amateurs! Amateurs I tell ya!!
The fastest quick changes are in The Mystery of Irma Vep. The play only has two actors and it requires each actor to exit the stage, change from a man into a woman or woman into a man, then re-enter on the other side of the stage. Basically the changes are done while the actor is running. And it's not just one change, these changes happen throughout the show.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Both Glinda and Elphaba have around 7 seconds to change from the end of the Train Station scene into the beginning of One Short Day.

City of Angels - Randy Graff is singing in an office (If I remember correctly), a quick black out, and then she turns up in a bed in a nightgown. In SECONDS...it's the fastest "quick change" I've ever seen accomplished.
