Theater costume PNGs, part 3

[stuckasmain]

While focused more on flair than historical I have to admit I adore the costumes of the musical. Especially the use of color theory, the musical is no novice when it comes to its very intentional use of red throughout the show but I want to talk about more. Specifically the final outfits Christian and Satine have for the last leg of act two

Christians primary colors are blues, from a bright robins egg to the dark purples of his first overcoat and scarf. It usually is paired with a black/grey waistcoat and dark blue pants. As the musical goes on he starts getting darker and darker in his clothing, his shirt starts to change entirely. By the end he’s in reds and blacks almost entirely. Roxanne he has a red striped shirt and a black leather trench-coat. This is also his lowest point, he is burried in desire, jealousy, confusion and confusion.

Satines final dress is stunning. It’s sort of illuminaient in three different colors at once. It’s her feelings and the feelings Christian (and the Duke) project onto her. Black and blue are her own colors but then it’s still retained the deep crimson of her Roxane dress. It also shines green- as I feel like the audience (and some actors) tend to forget Christian is still absolutely out of his mind drunk. The feelings are intensified, swirling and confusing one for the other- just as she’s equally caught in a world wind of progressing disease and the dukes rein.

KamehameHamlet Archives: Freeza's Tail

Vegeta (and his helmet) have gotten a lot of love, but I wanted to highlight my other favorite piece of costuming: Freeza's tail! Read on to see it in action, and how it was made!

Made of a super long industrial pool noodle (with some theatre magic modifications), this costume piece/prop whipped around stage behind Cayla with a twisted fluidity that tied together Freeza's look. I mean just look at how it hooks around the rock then lashes out when Cayla turns sharply.

Let's take a look at how it was made!

The original idea for the tail was based on those wooden snake toys and I cut up a pool noodle as a protoype and sent the following video to our costume designer/magician Sarah Simon.

Sarah took my less-than-half-baked idea and crafted the final form of the tail. She shaved down a large white pool noodle to a taper, and instead of cutting all the way through, she used precise slices at varying angles which allowed specific bends exactly where we wanted them. The diagram below explains it better.

So why put all of this effort into this piece:

1. It's cool. Duh.

2. We needed to be able to pull off this moment.

Thanks for reading! Oh and if you are thinking the following...

Wait a minute... you told us there wasn't a recording. So, what's this then?

The footage in the gifs comes from a short recording during tech sent to our fight choreographer to show how the choreo looked in the theatre. I'm combing through old videos of that time to find pieces worth sharing with you. Follow this blog to see these snippets or follow the links below to learn more!

💀Mac stealing candy while also traumatizing children and causing heart attacks for s**** and giggles, while over here Wukong is in the front of every door, pushing and shoving any kid in his way leaving a trail of crying screaming children while trying to charm the house owner to give him more than one king size candy bars from each and every house.👻🎃💕🍫

🍭They are both the worst trick or treaters out there an MK has to supervise them from now on😠

Also here's a good scenario I came up with all drawing them.

what if the whole gang goes out for Halloween shopping picking out costumes or material for their costumes and macaque pics of ghosts / zombie/ anything that reminds you of the Dead. Mac's costume upsets monkey King to the point he tries to ignore or tries to bully him into a better costume anything that doesn't remind him that he's actually half dead or maybe out of guilt / fear he just doesn't want to see him macaque in that horrific way again.
