THE LAST OF THE HIGHJINKS?

 

I've been having trouble downloading a video that the university made. No luck. Here are some more backstage photos. Still awaiting the 42nd St ones.



The room with bits and pieces of costumes displayed. That's a wolf head from Beauty and the Beast.

An assortment of shoes: jazz shoes, beaded slipper from Aladdin, beige character shoe, tap shoe, sneaker From Go, Dog, Go and cowboy boot from Oklahoma! A wall of t-shirts from past seasons.



Hello! I'm the snake from the Jungle Book

Dress from Camelot, I made this in 1993!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grandmother puppet from Mulan. The actors stood behind and could move the arms. I think there were 4 of them.

Bird puppet from Aladdin

Edna's final dress from Hairspray.


Everybody wants to be a show girl. Me, Steve and Esther model the hats from "We're in the Money".  Steve made 21 hats in 6 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


"We're in the Money" costumes. It took me 2 days to glue the rhinestones on 10 costumes. By hand, one at a time. Then I sewed 3 layers of trim on the skirts. I really can't wait to post the photos from this show. It's way over the top!

 

Remember my "no shopping vow"? Well, I went to an on line auction and have won 3 lots of weird dolls. I couldn't help it.  Stay turned for more weird dolls.
