Anyone going to wear a Broadway-esque costume this Halloween?
Any Barbras? Judys? Channings?
Any Grizabellas? Phantoms? Bobby Strongs?
Fine... if you're gonna be Elphaba or Glinda you can comment also. 'Tis the season, afterall.
I'm gonna be Tobias Ragg (revival).

Let's not make 'em lame. I hate the guessing game.
What about a giraffe of Lion King?

Mrs. Lovett, revival style. But I'll have a rolling pin, to pay homage to Lansbury.
I strongly considered Channing, but I'm saving it for next year, it's a little difficult.

Posted: 10/20/06 at 9:03amSuch a hard choice for me this year. I was Phantom last year. Walter Hartright or Percival Glyde maybe this year. But costumes for them are hard to find. I don't know!

Did a male version of elphaba last year, dont know why, just thought the idea of painting myself flourescent green would be kinda cool (ofcourse no one here knows anything about wicked so i didnt care) was cool that the paint glowed everytime i passed under a black light at the club, got some strange looks on the street too, but thats all the fun of Halloween
did phantom years ago, was too hot, jacket, blazer, long sleeve shirt and bowtie, too much.
staying away from broadway themes this year though.

Posted: 10/20/06 at 11:58amBroadway themed costumes only work if you are going to a party with Theatre Majors or your theatre friends. Otherwise you look like an idiot.

As opposed to the guy I saw last year dressed as a stapler. Or the guy who was dressed as Steve Irwin and was chasing cops with a stuffed alligator.
Looking stupid is the whole point of Halloween! I love dressing as stuff that very few people get, because then if someone recognizes it and says something, I've made a new friend.
Last year I was Maureen from RENT. Complete with cowbell. At the end of the night, I did a whole performance of Over the Moon with my friend doing the background vocals. (She was dressed as a French maid.)

In recent years I have been Ophelia, The Lady of the Lake, and Velma Kelly. This year was a close run between revival Mrs. Lovett and Sally Bowles. I opted for non-Broadway; I will be Twister

I suggested to my husband he go as Luther from South Pacific - dressed as a woman (the USO number). I think it would be pretty easy to do, people might recognize it. Great for a couple too. The woman can go in the sailor outfit.
Of course, he shot the idea down.

I'm going as Julia Murney at the Wicked Stagedoor. My friends are going to be my screaming, sobbing fangirls.
Of course, I'll just be telling people I'm a girl with green roots
