hellooo

last year, i went as eponine from lesmiz, which actually works well because if u go to parties w/o theater people they think you're anastasia from the animated picture, so nobody's looking at you wierd.

i wanted to go as elphaba or glinda this year, but since there's a wizard of oz audition comming up i don't want to be seen in costumes that i'll later be typecast for (i'm going for the dorothy role).

anybody have any ideas? i want a glinda-ish, flowy bouncy POPULAR costume, even if its not glinda.....

other plays to get costume ideas from 4 u guys:
- jeckyll and hyde
- seussical
- hairspray ( i might do it just for the fun wig)
- little shop (the dentist or the street urchins, or it can be a couples thing w/
seymour and audrey)
- fiddler on the roof (easy to find costumes for this)
- aida (the female character costumes are relatively easy to get made)

This year I'm going as Mimi from Rent in her LMC outfit, but am very afraid that I will be mistaken for a prostitute. I'm really beginning to rethink the design of the costume. I'm not supposed to be a whore!

ooo scary, yea i'd rethink it....it depends a lot on where you're going to go...if u'll be somewhere where there aren't going to be many theater buffs around (like i usually do), u may wanna pick a costume that doubles as something else (for example, sister amnesia from nunsense = random nun costume) so that u dont have to spend the whole night explaining...depends on u really....

TheAudrey3, you absolutely must go as Carmen Ghia. It'll be such a relief to know that somewhere out there, my gay lover is scaring little children just as much as I am in my Anastasia gown.

Alright, how doofy will I look if I hang a sign around my neck that says "Mimi from pulitzer-prize Winning RENT" so people don't think I'm something that I most definitely am not? How do I avoid this problem?

It has little to do with Halloween, but it is theater costumes. Remeber the episode of Golden Girls where Blanche and Rose were in a production of Cats? great, really cheesy costumes...but too overdone for the real world...I suppose :)

The bad thing about dressing up as a broadway character is...when people ask you who you are, you have to explain your whole costume. Anyways, when i was in 5th grade (i think) i dressed up as an ensemble member from ragtime. I had a brochure from the show and picked some random guy in the picture. I had a fake beard (made outa fabric), my dad's old suit, my dad's old vest, and gym shoes.

I'm going out as a vampire this year. It's overdone, I know, but when I saw Dracula I got the idea. I found these great contact lenses kind of like the ones they wear in the show during "Life After Life"...

I thought about Eponine this year, but decided against it. You have to be REALLY poor to not be able to pull off a popp person costume LOL That would be me!

I wanna go as Broadway style Belle.

Posted: 10/10/04 at 9:21pm

I'm considering to go as Philia from A Funny Thing...
It's not difficult... just a pretty toga. right?

ooo... do u all think Eva Peron is too random and people would be confused?

oooo... i really wanna go as Janet from Rocky Horror, but I duno if I could walk around in a white bra and a white underskirt thing-a-mo-bopper at school all day. Maybe I could wear a long dress shirt over it? Isn't that part of what she is given or something?

p.s.- will one of u guys be a Naked Boy Singing? hehe

Past theater-related costumes I've done are Grizabella (it was my first serious attempt at costuming, ie: really bad), Bombalurina, and Rumpleteazer. I just finished a Kit Kat girl costume and I'm waiting for an occasion to wear it.

I've been the Phantom several times. It's a prety easy costume

Last year my friends were Roxie, VElma and Billy Flynn. They looked really cool.

"I'm considering to go as Philia from A Funny Thing...

I'm playing Philia right now, and I'm so busy with previews/random clean up rehearsals that I don't think I'll have time to come up with anything, so I shall be going as Philia. My costume is a white flowy slip with a cream colored blouse that is decorated with gold trim.

I've done so many theatre related costumes, some of my favorites:

Sister Robert Anne from Nunsense at age eight (that one got some odd looks, just picture a tiny eight year old running around in an over sized nun costume)

A "Fosse" dancer at eleven ("Steam Heat" to be exact) which was a compromise between my mother and I- I wanted Maureen's cat suit.. she didn't like that idea.

A very tame mother-made version of Mazzepa from Gypsy at twelve- complete with trumpet.

Wicked Witch Of The East from Wizard Of Oz, (before Wicked) which consisted of striped tights, ruby read slippers and a house made out of a cardboard box that covered my upper body.

Last year I was Mrs. Lovett from Sweeney Todd. With pie.

I have wanted to be one of the "towel girls" I call them from Aida for a few years now it would be really easy considering they sold the towel there for a while just need the glitter..oh and the body to pull it off!
