This is one of the better “skirt tucked into a pocket” designs I’ve seen. It doesn’t look super obvious like a giant pool float around her waist and more like how a real bustle would.
I brought my 6 1/2 year old granddaughter to this very production and we both loved it. I looked over at her face after the Cinderella dress change and her mouth was open and her eyes were big. Then she looked at me and gave me the hugest grin. We were across the theater so it looked really magical. Thanks to the talented cast, crew, and everybody who made that show. My granddaughter and I will always remember that special evening and cherish it.
I love the “oh hi, we’re shooting a video about the costumes, no one told you?” energy. This feels like those class projects you start the morning it was due.
Wow, amazing. A magic wand to make the changes would have been much easier, but lacking that, Kelsey is truly a dress engineering wizard. As a member of the audience, the whole effect trully was magical. Amy, you are a real princess on stage and at home.
Really I guess it's just a hook on which to your desire to just affirm. But there's not that many. Many possibilities too, good and neutral. And no verdict is ultimately possible, but there's a kind of insult to the theatre as if they must be untouched by even the mildest most inarticulate criticism or all is lost!? I didn't hit it. But I'm not without any critical thinking or mix of emotions here! So I think there's neutral, good & bad reasons people might have hit it. I'm just thinking that the standing to explain the dress being fussed with is possibly unpleasant for the actresses, cheaply objectifying. And then most of all with the initial shot of corsets bodice undergarments, flesh visible (Oo. 😱😉), might seem off. That could be a dislike related to trauma or sense of it being exploitative, misogynoir, in protective anti-racist and feminist way. Alternatively in a completely opposite way & horribly so, the dislikes might be misogynoir or fatphobia against a beautiful larger black women, or against her in that role. Or maybe they're against "spoiling the magic" or the dress engineering, or dislike sapphic vibes, or dislike the theatre or someone in it for unknown reasons. Or maybe they hit it accidentally. Not many. No verdict is ultimately possible, but invalidating any possible objection especially good concerns and valid emotional associations as if you were born yesterday, as if you haven't heard anyone talk about anything or can't imagine anything negative ever as a kind of priveleged flex of gushing admiration seems really unnecessary!? I'm autistic but I don't think I'm the one lacking social imagination here.
It is so tidy! Love the simplicity in the execution and definitely the precise silhouette appeared afterwards. It is a hit! Too many times I saw it misses the mark or causing voluminous fabrics trapped thus made it looking inevitably frumpy.
I'm so sad there won't be more episodes. I love the behind the scenes look, especially now that I moved away and can no longer attend HCT as often. Thank you everyone at Hale and everyone that worked to make these videos a reality!
Ok this is the most awesome art in theatre! The behind the scene craftsmanship and engineering is where the magic is brought to life. The seamstress/clothing engineer is a really fantastic artist and I love the unexpected details.
Those poor girls weighted down with SO MUCH heavy fabric, weights, scripts, lines, dance routines and and and wow More power to them - and the designers
in kabuki they have a similar act, usually in the changing of seasons. the kimono is pulled away in a dramatic fashion to reveal new colors and patterns underneath
I was uneasy about watching-magic in any form is too precious to destroy-but understanding the engineering behind Cinderella's costume transformation didn't lessen the emotional impact. Bravo.
"Hi! Welcome to your first time watching this channel! This is our last episode, and we are retiring!" Oh well... That is the great thing about RU-vid... making videos is almost like owning real estate. You never know when people will drop by.
I went to university for theatre and just graduated in the middle of the pandemic. It hurts me everyday when I don’t get to actually practice in my field due to theatres only just reopening. Seeing this video, while extremely intriguing and interesting to me, also make me yearn for theatre so much more. Hopefully more doors and job opportunities open up to me in the future.
I was Drama Mama and wardrobe slave to my daughter many years ago. I enjoyed this very much. and also learned a lot about how to hide costumes. Thank you. Loved the fairy's Bam!
for cindys dress, how does the fishing wire stay in the seams until pulled out? is it just tension that holds it in there? does the fishing wire just blind stitch between the two side seams? this is so cool!!
What happens if the fishing line breaks and/or doesn't work? The fairy godmother's dress is a DREAM! I can't imagine playing Cinderella, and wearing ALL of that...it must be heavy....plus, with all the "changes gone wrong" videos out there, I'd be having massive anxiety every night worrying about nothing going wrong with the dress change.🥴😵💫
Something about that the tiara is under the wig of Cinderella makes me think of some Cinderella/Hedwig and the Angry Inch crossover take on Wig In a Box.
@@TiggiTheWillful im thinking about her skin being rubbed, and she may found that uncomfortable, working (dancing and singing) with that. Also, the chemise is used to soak all the sweat, so the corset can last longer. :)
literally the first thing i thought! I feel bad for the actress, a barrier between the skin and the corset would be even more important if you're dancing and sweating on stage :(
Same!!! Like, even when people were wearing corsets instead of bras, they had shifts or combinations underneath. At least give her a tube top or something!
He said that this was the last episode of this youtube series and the series had almost a third of a million views, and this one video got 400k alone, wow.
I'm a professional drag queen and do a lot of big shows with big costumes and wigs. I would love it if they would make me one of these reveal dresses. I already spend thousands of dollars on costumes anyways so I would to know where to get a dress that does that.
