I have no pix of him during Omigod. On the computer, yes; online no. But he is in that scene.

This is taken from my comment on Glinda's costuming directory.
The Crown: it’s made up of stars or snowflakes like the wand’s tip. It looks like there are 9 total: there’s a big one in the very centre (about 3” in diameter) and they taper off in size until it ends past Corbyjanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02284424950190023888noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4061549579748693503.post-49280811777397516232010-05-18T12:27:00.000-07:002010-05-18T12:27:38.462-07:00OT: Attention LOTR CosplayersWell, it's a little on-topic if you consider it as selling my stuff on eBay.
I once had dreams of making Eowyn's Green Dress from LOTR. I still want to (it's half finished) but I don't want to put as much money into it as before. I purchased a little over a yard and a half of the trim used by Ngila Dickson in the actual movie, but never got to using it.

San Francisco Try-Outs / Early Broadway
The dress, like every other costume seen in Wicked, went through a variety of phases before it became what it is today. This article is devoted to the research of what Glinda wore during the San Francisco previews and for a short time on Broadway. Notable actresses that have worn this version of the dress are Kristin Chenoweth (Corbyjanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02284424950190023888noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4061549579748693503.post-56536947121641401492009-12-25T23:35:00.000-08:002010-06-05T00:38:33.287-07:00Wicked: Glinda's Bubble Gown Directory
"It's good to see me, isn't it?"
Glinda the GoodWhen conceiving designs for G(a)linda, Susan Hilferty said she was based on the sky: think clouds, stars... (there are some serious "airhead" jokes dying to be made here, guys). That being said, this dress is the "iconic" one for Glinda (she's at the Glinda stage for this dress... just so you nit-pickers are aware)--it does mimic, in style, the Corbyjanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02284424950190023888noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4061549579748693503.post-30464354792336103362009-12-25T23:33:00.000-08:002010-06-04T23:59:02.768-07:00Wicked: Glinda's Bubble Gown: US Version
US VersionThe second one (Broadway & Chicago for sure... not sure about the others) have a rounded neckline with an equally rounded waistline.
Both versions have "v" style sequins on the bodice, and a ruffly lace that runs along the neckline.This version has it's own gallery on PB.

The international productions of Wicked have a very different style to them. While the Tokyo production mirrors the US versions in many aspects of its costuming, England, Australia, and Germany look different in other ways, and the Bubble Gown is no exception. While (as I said) this is the case for Sydney, London, and Stuttgart, I'm calling it the UK version because it's shorter and I can be Corbyjanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02284424950190023888noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4061549579748693503.post-86343340266417364122009-12-25T19:48:00.000-08:002009-12-25T19:48:58.171-08:00Wicked: Madame Morrible Costume DirectoryMadame Morrible has no counterpart in the L Frank Baum series or the 1939 film. She is initially Head Shiztress at Shiz University, but bites and scratches her way to working directly under the Wizard of Oz. She starts out as a rather genial, if not terribly sympathetic character, but (like the Wizard) quickly falls under the category of Villain. In fact, she is probably more villainish than the Corbyjanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02284424950190023888noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4061549579748693503.post-69805674498095134902009-12-25T19:39:00.000-08:002010-06-08T16:37:05.741-07:00Behind the Emerald Curtain picturesMy notes from seeing the Behind the Emerald Curtain tour (back over Thanksgiving break, but I have a busy life).

Also, new pictures in the Emerald City dress, Act 2 (I added 161 new pictures!), and last but not least, the black sheath dress she wears Corbyjanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02284424950190023888noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4061549579748693503.post-28612856149780767322009-12-22T20:05:00.000-08:002010-05-31T20:21:50.375-07:00First look at Legally Blonde costumes on West EndSo I kind of dropped the ball on these ones, but the press release just came through, and we get our first look at Sheridan Smith in Legally Blonde the Musical!

The costumes look pretty similar, for the most part. They have little tweaks that make them look newish.
