I like how the hat guy just took her hat off and replaced it with his
TheMicrowave literally I was thinking the same thing
This is actually how a lot of dressers prep hats backstage! Makes the change run a lot faster. They do the same thing with neck ties for men! :)
And his sweet umbrella holster on his belt O:
Fascinating! I swear the people behind the scenes don't get the credit they deserve.
Depends on what you mean by credit. It's a log easier for them to find employment... lol!
rowelle amen!
So many strikes happen on broadway, in the real world in show biz. They should be recognized for there dedication behind the scenes.
Anyone who has ever been on stage knows how important they are.
I agree with you
Once I was in a production of legally blonde and Elle has SO MANY quick changes and this one time during legally blonde reprise we were all backstage watching her change behind a piece of scenery and it was so close omg, she was struggling to get her show on and we all held out collective breaths but she made it on time
same here! i played vivian but for a lot of the first act when vivian wasn’t really introduced yet i was helping Elle change lmao the What You Want change from her sweatsuit to the sparkly majorette outfit is one of the most stressful experiences of my life 💀
Sandy Johnson omg Yh! That looked so stressful as well! Well I’m glad it went well! :)
Playboy bunny costume guys, one scene in it, so little time before and after
we did that show in the beginning of December this year and Elle’s quick changes were crazy!! It’s insane
Legally Blonde the musical needs a lot more credit still! My goodness... the set design, costumes and of course the text and lyrics were really carefully thought through. Props to backstage and fellow actors for all the hard work in those quick changes
"Grease" (the stage production) only gives Sandy about 5 minutes to go from prim-and-proper to full on greaser's dream girl. The girl who was Sandy in my high school production ended up having about half a dozen people yanking clothes on and off her, curling and spraying her hair, and slapping heavy makeup on her. They always managed to do it in time too. Mad props!
Wigs man. That kind of change you need wigs.
I had to do a 30 second full costume change in college. There were 3 of us, jamming shoes on and ripping clothes off and throwing them on… madness
I love watching this. I play Mary in my school's production, and these changes are RIDICULOUS. It's fun to see exactly how the pros do it. I don't have three or four people helping me (maybe one or two) but it's nice to know how quickly it could go once we get it down pat :)
I also played Mary! That Jolly Holiday change was crazy. I had 18 buttons on my blue coat and had to get into the fancy dress. I too, had one or two helping me.
I need these people to help me when I oversleep and I’m late for work
Ah makes me remember the good old days when me and six dancers were literally ripping the clothes of our only male dancer because he had to do a complete outfit and makeup change in two minutes. Poor guy ;)
PoisonTheOgres *insert lenny face here*
Haha😂 Yeah I can relate, bc I'm also a dancer and sometimes I help others to put theyr new clothes on bc they are in rush. I just haven't done that to boy. That would be so hilarious 😂👏
Quick changes were always one of my favorite aspects of musical theater!
Awesome! Who doesn't love a good quick change??
mad respect. my quickest quick change was in guys and dolls, I was general cartwright and the mission crew and i were all ensemble members in the titular number, which happens directly before a scene in the mission. I was lucky because I entered a few lines after the lights went up, but sarah and the rest of the mission folks had a maybe 30 second instrumental or so before they had to be in places for lights up on the scene, and one of them had to have a giant marching band drum when he walked in. small production, so they could only spare two or three techies for the five people who needed to change - an absolute nightmare. Worst part was the mission uniforms were old marching band uniforms and were pretty much impossible to put on quickly without help - I usually got the basics down and then helped the rest of them, since I could clean up a bit in the 10-15 seconds before I had to enter.
Oh my! How I love the thrill of a quick change. The highlight of my dancing career!
The people behind the scenes of costume changes never get enough credit!! They make the job so much easier for the performer. Last year I participated in a production of Peter and the Starcatcher at my school, and ended up playing various parts including Teacher the mermaid. My teacher had me run offstage and change in the span of a few minutes, with no extra help. This meant that I had to redo my makeup during intermission (not to mention the fact that I had two quick changes then too), then tear off my clothes (button up shirt, pants and tennis shoes) while running back to my dressing room, completely change my outfit (new shirt, leggings, dress), shoes (heels with the straps around the ankles that act like belts if you know what I mean), put on jewelry, make sure my makeup wasn't ruined, run to my spot backstage while being quiet so as not to disturb the performance (all the while praying that the people who acted as my tail onstage were waiting for me, which some nights they barely got there in time), grab my huge tail and tie it securely around my waist (the only part I had help with), make sure everything was good to go and get on stage. I also had to enter at the exact right time, otherwise I wouldn't get to my spot on stage fast enough. It was hell but I loved every night of that performance, it was worth seeing people's faces when I came out in a completely different costume and moving tail! I have so much respect for the actors in professional settings and for the people that help them.
Ahh, I love a good quick change! Gets the heart pumping!!!!
You'll love the one in our newest episode on Wardrobe!! czcams.com/video/bQDJBHpzMPU/video.html
Like a big brass band!
She even has time for a drink of water! Incredible!
That's talent right there! Dang! What if a zipper gets stuck or something?
Safety pins always!
You just go on if it's too late
Zippers actually aren’t that common, mostly buttons and hook and eyes and snaps. More control and less risk.
I remember when I did footloose, and the entire company had a quick change of either about 1 min or about 3. But because I was rusty me and my friend who was Willard literally had about 30 seconds before the finale and honestly it was the most stressful time of my life 😂😂😂🤦♀️
God bless the costume crew
If I were the costumer, I’d get all flustered and forget how to do buttons. 🤣🤣
We've never done Mary but we've done some quick changes solo before. It's a panic when you get stuck!
When I did this show, I had 2 characters who had multiple back to back or one short scene apart quick changes, from a male character to a female character and BOI WAS IT STRESSFULL
I was one of background ballet dancer in a production so there was a split second where we should move towards the designated wing in batch... and actually one of the principal dancer almost collide with me...because he was rushing to get change. Maybe because there wasn't enough light, he was confused...went extremely close to our group (and cross us!) That gave me panic attack and nightmare! It was so bad because I basically stopped immediately based on my reflex and you know it was bad as he apologize profusely at that time. While coping with shocking mode luckily I managed to change on queue but I skip checking my face on mirror (because of sweat you likely mess up the powder on your face)..
Jesus to watch this gives me massive anxiety.
lol I read your comment and I had anxiety right away! (seriously.)
Me too to both, lol. I also love the Xena profile pic
Huge respect to people backstage at shows. In my school's production of 'The Tempest', I was in the chorus so we had to do all of the quick changes by ourselves. There was this one scene where I had to wear a black button up shirt, then, within a period of around 30 seconds, I had to be ready for the next scene, so i had to run backstage, go up one flight of stairs, get a blue button up shirt on, then run back downstairs to be ready to go back onstage. To be honest, one night, there was a hitch, and the stage hand didn't realise we were supposed to be going on next, so I ended up having to do that quick change within a period of about 10-15 seconds, which was a rush to say the least, but it all worked out in the end, and the adrenaline rush kicked in!!
This reminds me of a quick change I had last year. I was in the band and a vocalist for a music showcase, with the band onstage. I started onstage right in the middle of the band, dressed in black pants, a black shirt, and black dress shoes. In the blackout between the end of a song I played sax for and the beginning of the song I was lead vocalist for, I had to get offstage, grab my handheld mike, change into blue shorts, a white button down, with bare feet, and set myself at center stage.
I dressed mrs banks and the childern when Mary Poppins was in Las Vegas. I love being part of the theater.
This just blows my mind
My school did Mary Poppins this year, and let me tell you that quick change was the scariest moment of the entire show, every performance everyone held their breath hoping that Mary would make it onstage but luckily she was only a few seconds late on the very first night.
Wow, that is super impressive! 👏
I was Mrs.Brill in Mary Poppins and I had to help with this exact quick change (Bert also had to get changed at the same time)
We had to do this this year for my school’s elementary play, and since I’m in middle school I helped out backstage with scenery and stuff and oh boy was this costume change stressful because the dress wouldn’t zip up half the time and while this was going on you also had to have two people helping Bert change into his costume
during the first one I barely scrolled down to see when the video was posted and by the time I looked up she was completely changed
My fastest quick change would’ve have to be a quick change in my first production of Seussical.
I literally had to change from my Grinch costume (the costume consisted of yellow t-shirt, yellow pants, white socks and white shoes painted yellow, green headpiece, green chest piece and green hands into a Hunch costume (which consisted of a blue wig, red shirt with a white star, black pants, bare foot)
Zattack 3000.1 what a coincidence! My school is currently doing a production of Suessical! I’m Jojo!
That just have been a real hassle, but was it fun?
CosWeeb Yea, it was fun. Both times I did Seussical
Zattack 3000.1 awesome! I’m excited.
Preforming as Jack's Mother in Into the Woods right now. I have to help with the Witch's quick change into being beautiful and we have 20 seconds of dialogue to do so. We've only missed the change once out of over 100 preformances
I play Mary Poppins in our play, so this is sorta relatable.
We were doing little mermaid and I had to change from a mermaid to a princess in the matter of 5 minutes and change wigs!
I helped Conderella change into her wedding gown so many times, and when she got frustrated and snapped at us or tried to do it herself cuz we were too slow it made it really hard for us costume people and we took longer, when she just stood there we got it done in no time
This wasn’t really a “quick change” quick change but, when I was in Les Mis we didn’t have enough Mic’s for everyone so we’d have to switch with other actors. I was a constable and I would become a student (Courfeyrac and Joly) later on. I got my mic from a Lovely Lady and her’s was all tangled in her corset most of the time. And the only time in her and my track where we could switch was during the first couple MINUTES of Who Am I. So I had to take half of my constable stuff off, she had to get half of her lovely lady things off, untangle her mic, put it on me, then get my constable things on again, it was constantly frantic and I love everyone who helped us so much. Because it was awful when it was just me, her, and that poor tech person.
Stephen Wheatley my cast members and I had to do this during a full production of Hairspray. Not enough mics for everyone who had a line. We had a whole schedule and if someone didn’t get their mic, it was chaos. We had a very narrow walkway so getting to other actors while dozens of people are also in the back was a hassle. Some mics even completely died! So stressful.
When I've done quick changes, I'm always extra nervous if I have to change shoes. For some reason, that's the nerve wracking part.
I had a quick change that was 1 minute 30 seconds in children of eden from storyteller to animal it was hard.
We're doing Mary Poppins this year and I am not prepared for the s t r e s s that comes with Jolly Holiday's costume change 😓
I love how one of them ends up wearing Mary's hat for part of it :D
In all seriousness, very impressive :)
Them BACK MUSCLES
When I was in Mary Poppins I was backstage at this scene and I still don’t know how they got that big pink dress on with only two people helping.
I have to quick change in 2 minutes! I have to leave stage, put on a dress, style a wig, put it on, move a prop, keep the wig on, and move a wall. (This is from SUPERCAL to Playing the game) lol
She has 3 pairs of socks on! 😲
I thought “wow, how will they put the black socks back on in such a short time?!”🤔
But they were definitely smarter that me 😅
was it only for me or the video stopped but vocals did not?

i’ve had a 10 second full costume change
Did a play of Grease live and know how it's like having to change in the matter of seconds
wow thats very intersting
U can relate to this there RIDICOULOUS
My show toxic acenger had even quicker but less professional and or clean quick changes
what song or scene or act this happens exactly??
Lol they used this from the dutch production 1:18
That made you laugh out loud?
Is she wearing a corset?
That must suck after big musical numbers my goodness.. I mean it’s probly not super tight but still respect
Ava . Marie corsets are actually not uncomfortable like most people think. Bernadette Banner has a good video about corsets and Morgan Donner wore one for a week and thought them more comfortable than bras.
Corsets are not supposed to be tightly laced. Very few actually laced them to the point you can’t breath and that was mainly the socialites who didn’t have to move to much. A well made, well fitted, well laced corset should not cause any discomfort.
Lol...
«Quickchange»? 40 seconds in theatreterms are oceans of time.
Especially when you have 3 dressers.
I have had quickchanges that took half the time,and that was full costume-change from suit to tuxedo. And i was alone.
I would only hire sets of twins...lol
I would not be able to drink water! I’d have to go pee every 5mins 😓
After 3x times I see everything #cameras
So 3 pairs of socks should to the job, thank you!
The person that puts on the dresses, is interesting to watch, she can't see what she's doing in the wings of the stage. She has to trust her self to go by feel.
Oml im playing mary and these quick changes kill me
