Costume Ideas for The Wrong Panto share
Rainbows are Rats and Cats :
Choose a basic base color eg : : black, brown , white , : leggings, t-shirts, vests, leotards if you have them, add ears and a tail or buy a rat or cat costume, but make sure faces aren’t covered : ) AN EASY WAY TO MAKE A TAIL IS TO STUFF NYLON TIGHTS WITH NEWSPAPER .
Wizz are mostly fairy tale characters or characters in a fairy tale commercial :
Basic black base : leggings, t-shirt , vest, add a couple of things that represent the character : eg: A Princess could wear a crown and sash , a child could wear big colorful jo jo bows ! A Prince could wear a crown , A dating show host could wear a big bow tie
Wicked are playing the main characters:
I will help here where i can, as i have some panto style costumes i can source . I will have a chat in class with the students re who i can help costume wise . They need to look like over the top characters, so google the character for costume ideas and lots will come up :
EG : Hook , Jack Sparrow type pirate with a hook hand
Cinders : Rags
Genie : Belly dancing style costume
Abanazer – Arabic looking prince with gold turban and harem pants .
Newquay Trinity Sassy Stars: All black with colorful wings that tie to their finger or wrist , so they move when they lift their arms . So not stiff wings .
Trinity Truro : : Elizabeth is Pan , so will be in her Peter Pan costume . The rest can be in basic black : tops, leotards, vests, leggings, tights : can they add a crown of green leaves, as it’s coming up to Christmas a small Christmas reef should work and double as a home decoration : )
Hope that helps email me at cornwalltheatreschool.info@gmail.com if you need any more pointers .
