One Dress a Day Challenge

July: Blue Redux (+ Green Redux)

The Wiz / Lena Horne as Glinda the Good

Still photos really don't do justice to this costume. It's all about the play of light sparkling off the sequins, rhinestones, and other ornaments. The silver decorations suggest both stars and snowflakes; while the latter might seem odd, I think they are a symbolic link to Dorothy's story. Glinda appears to sing a song to Dorothy telling her to believe in herself so that she can have the power to go home--and when Dorothy clicks her heels, she finds herself back in New York, running through the snow to her front door as thick snowflakes fall from the sky.

Costumes for this film were designed by Tony Walton.

Says Walton, who left the bank in March 1993:

The people in Westpac's Americas division can all be justifiably proud of what they had achieved. It was a professional organisation, operating in a highly competitive environment at a time when many foreign banks faltered. The division consistently surpassed the performance measurements asked of it and stacked up well against its US-based peers. Most relevant, though, the division made an important profit and cultural contribution to the bank during a critical period in its history. It was a tightly knit group of individuals who, years later, remain in close touch.

The complete text of Jonathan’s Tony Awards speech:

Thank you.

I grew up in a house surrounded by cornfields in Lancaster County Pennsylvania.

I was raised by my parents Jim and Julie Groff and my brother David and the three of them are sitting right there.

Thank you for letting me dress up like Mary Poppins when I was 3. Thank you for letting me act out scenes from ‘I Love Lucy’ on my 10th birthday. Thank you for always allowing my freak flag to fly without ever making me feel weird about it.

Even if they didn't always understand me, my family knew the life-saving power of fanning the flame of a young person's passions without judgment. I walk through life with an open heart because you let me know that I could.

Thank you to all of my teachers back in Pennsylvania especially Sue Fisher, who told me I could do this for a living.

I moved to New York exactly 20 years ago this year and I got a job waiting tables and became a volunteer for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and all I wanted was to be a part of this community.

Thank you to everyone involved in Spring Awakening who not only made that dream come true but inspired him to come out of the closet when I was 23.

I’m now 39, and musical theater is still saving my soul.

Maria Friedman, thank you for letting me be your Franklin Shepard in this production of Merrily and allowing me the chance to accept, respect and express both the lightest and darkest parts of myself.

Daniel Radcliffe and Lindsay Mendez, you are more than old friends; you are soulmates and I’m looking forward to watching each other change for the rest of our lives.

Thank you to every member of the extraordinary cast for lifting this Merrily into the spiritual stratosphere.

Thank you to every person working inside the Hudson Theatre. Thank you New York Theatre Workshop.

Thank you Jim, Lonny, Ann and the original creative team of Merrily.

A special thank you to Sonia Friedman, Jim Carnahan, Tom Broecker, Hayley King, Joe Machota and Jenny Tversky. Happy birthday to Rick and Max.

And finally, I just want to say that when I was a kid in Pennsylvania, I used to record the Tony Awards on a VHS tape and watch the performances over and over again.

To actually be able to be a part of making theater in this city and just as much to be able to watch the work of this incredible, incredible community has been the greatest gift and pleasure of my life.

And I thank you, and thank you so much for this honour.

Credits:

Sonia Friedman (lead producer and Maria’s sister), Jim Carnahan (casting director), Tom Broecker (costume consultant), Hayley King (dresser), Joe Machota (CAA agent), Jenny Tversky (publicist), (happy birthday to) Max (Rackenberg, one of the Frank Jr’s in the show).

John Uhrig explains the significance of the position website was in at that time. 'We felt that the tax matter could have been the straw that broke the camel's back,' he says:

I won't reveal what I said when told about it but obviously I was shocked because I thought we were starting on a clean slate. We thought the dramas were behind us. It might not be unreasonable that for an organisation that had come to find itself in this position to feel that it was time to set signals regarding taking responsibility. The signal had to go to everyone that things at Westpac are not going to be this way again. There is no sense in which Tony was personally responsible, other than he was responsible for everything that happened in Westpac's business in the US. That was the signal that needed to be sent to everybody, that when you are responsible you must accept what responsibility means. The statement had to be made.
