The past two days we have been waiting for the Sweeney Todd costumes to be ready for us. Unfortunately the costumes arrived late and are still at the warehouse being checked in. The designer (Marcy), the cutter (Nancy) and I have done just about as much prep work as we can before laying hands on the actual clothes... We watched the movie, we toured the set, we did some pre-fitting alterations for the Joanna costumes (the virgin being played by a 5months pregnant actress) and then I volunteered on the remaining notes for Sound of Music... all of this waiting will most likely bite us all in the arse very soon so we're getting a bit jittery...
One cool thing is that we're getting the costumes from the iconic Angela Lansbury version of the show. So to do a plot we just watched the video (a clip is posted below)... I love the peasant rags and Sweeney, but the women all seem to be more "Olde Time" than 1856... eh oh well. Lets hope we see these costumes in person tomorrow...
