Gotta Get A Gimmick from Gypsy

Part of the fun of the number is seeing how the costumes are interpreted. You get a lot of creative leeway, really- the only requirements are that Mazeppa must have a trumpet, Electra must have electric lights, and Tessie must have something graceful.

If you’re doing this in a production, then you’ve got the constraint of the time period. But if you’re doing it in a revue or concert or something, you can basically do whatever you like with the costumes as long as they sync up with each gimmick. Mazeppa could be a soldier from any era or a marching band player or a fox hunter. Electra could reference anything from Christmas trees to the Vegas strip (which would be a fun visual pun). Tessie could be a butterfly or a ballerina or a ribbon dancer.

You ARE aware that none of us knows who Donna, Judy, or Wendy are, right?

Yes, but that has nothing to with the help you are asking for.

I guess you missed his post in the other thread about his "three female friends coming over to perform just for him".
