I like to think of the applause as an appreciation for the costume department! Backstagers never get enough thanks
@beaellie97662 жыл бұрын
Correction: the applause is for EVERY technical element, not just the costume department. Most of those changes can't happen with the lighting being designed to support it, the actors "selling" the change, the music being scored for the appropriate moment, etc. etc.

I once did a performance of Cinderella with a double cast, and both girls who played cinderella looked very similar. So instead of a quick change, we just swapped them out for one scene. Made sure the fake was facing upstage and then she walked behind the carriage- boom, the one who had the on night came out in costume while the other stayed behind. No one could tell, it was super good.

The most impressive ones are the ones where it's just a single person on stage and they don't use darkness or smoke to cover it up (and since it's one person on stage, they also aren't using a group of people doing jazz hands to cover it up). Also the ones where they're apparently still dancing while it's happening are very impressive.

Costume changes are always best when celebrating the art of theatre. Like Pippin's one at the start. It's a bit of stage trickery and one with an amazing history. Directors that revel in it in like Frozen make it all the more awe inspiring. I'll be real I'm not fond of most Cinderella transformations. Budget constraints make it hard I know but the Fairy Godmother can often carry a few moments of sass by herself to get the technicalities neat. She is built around lifting Cinders up, storywise and strategically.

I remember I did Mary Poppins a few years back and I played the role of Bert. Now this was the Jr. version and me and the person who played Mary had only a short amount of time to get off stage, change, and get back on for the final stretch of Jolly Holiday. Mary had it easy with just having to slide on and off a dress while I’m ripping off multiple layers and I always ending up running out to Mary. Good news is we only had flukes in the first few runs with changes but after that it ran smooth.

I know it's dumb semantics, but I would argue that most of these are reveals, not quick changes. IMO, the factors that influence the distinction are... 1) is anything added, or is the actor fully dressed with layers being removed? 2) Does it happen in view of the audience as a transformation, or is it hidden? Reveals are so much fun for the audience, that they seem to be kind of taking the place of quick changes.
