Toni Heller and I produced the costumes for a Musical called The Drowsy Chaperone which is a musical based in the 1920s. It was particularly challenging as the play was double cast, so each character was played by two different actors.
The costume I am most proud of, and which took the most work, was for the main character, Janet. In one song, she had 4 outfits on at once, with each layer being removed to reveal the next one underneath. These consisted of a dressing gown for the pool side, a sparkly black dress, a tasselled green dress and a red bikini style outfit.
On this project, we learned a lot about working backstage. The space we had to do all these changes was very small and very dark. It was a challenge, but we managed well with team work.
