Piano Dress

I'm not much given to hyperbole, but having the costumes onstage today was literally the most fabulous event in recorded history. Okay, maybe a bit of hyperbole, bu I kid you not when I say that the costues are fabulous. So fabulous in fact, that I am withholding most of them from the blog so as not to give anything away. Here we have Matt Burns (AKA Burnsy) as our Pish-Tush. The gentleman with the wig is Tom Watson, our wig designer and all around genius. Know how at a certain point in kung-fu movies the belagured peasants or oppressed villagers pool their meagar coins and find a hero of legend to defend them against the wicked samurai? Maybe not. But if what the oppressed peasants really needed was a fantastic wig, Tom would be their hero of legend.

Below Tom is Tammy Coil, who does a cameo as a geisha in the overture. And finally we have some of our schoolgirls, freshly free from scholastic trammels.

We are rapidly getting to the point where the awesomeness of Linda's costumes, Mark's lights and Mikiko's set far outstrip both my abilities and those of my camera to accurately capture them.

Tomorrow we do a brief dialogue rehearsal, and then Tuesday is our first orchestra dress. More then.
