Er, why do you say so? I thought the costume design is entirely functional- not exceptional, surely, but does the job without calling attention to itself.

The costume design is probably the most competently designed aspect of the show. The set looked like it was from a cruise ship production. I still think this was totally the wrong theatre. That stage is huge and it really does swallow up the show. I really think they just approached this show wrong. I mean, everything almost works. The cast is phenomenal, the book is funny, and there's some good music in there. I think they just went too big, flashy, and big broadway with it. It's a decent, fun show, but I also think it could be much better.

The first blue dress is boring, ill-fitting and wrong for the star’s first entrance. You’re right - I find Ivey’s designs usually always safe and calling very little attention to themselves. I think costumes for shows need a bit more than that.
Flo Klotz never would have let that dress go onstage
