Wicked Costumes

Check out this great interview Threadbangers did with Susan Hilferty - the costume designer for Wicked! I love the show and I love the costumes so it was great to get a behind-the-scenes peek.

I loved the book the musical is based on and I'll never forget coming in to NY for a meeting and seeing billboards everywhere for the musical - which I didn't even know they were doing! I walked on down to the Gershwin that night - just in case they had a single seat available. It had just opened, so of course they didn't - but I did come home with the soundtrack and one of the gorgeous posters. Alan and I finally got to see it when the show came to Atlanta - and it was awesome! Jo is a huge fan of the music - she knows almost all the words to almost all the songs and I wish we had brought her with us, but the book is definitely not for kids so I wasn't sure about the musical. It turns out it would have been just fine - but she's still waiting. It's back in Atlanta right now, but we found out too late to get tickets to the one weekend we could have made it. Oh well. . .
