Yes, I included a pun in the title of this post. I am delighted to be on board as wardrobe mistress for Bournemouth Musical Theatre Production's latest production - Lionel Bart's 'Oliver!' at the Regent Centre in Christchurch!
I attended the first dress run on Sunday, a staggered run as this was the first time with all the costumes and my first chance to meet the cast, crew, and get to know the costumes as well. The show is wonderful, the cast very talented and I am very excited to see the shows reception next week on the stage.
The costumes were all assembled on Sunday, though and most assigned with the exception of some of the accessories and the childrens workhouse costumes. Sunday's tasks - aside from learning the show and the costumes - were assisting with last minute alterations, assigning the workhouse costumes, and sewing in labels - a must in any costume department with a large cast and a number of virtually identical costumes. There is little in the way of quick changes, mostly it will just be making sure everyone has what they need, dealing with any last minute repairs or alterations and packing things down at the end - but we shall see what the show brings!
