The Leading Players (Aaron Benson '00, Nathan Claridad '00, and Branden Jacobs-Jenkins '02)
in the Spring '00 production of PIPPIN.
Costume List
Basic basic costumes: all basic costumes should be black (no charcoal or grey, black!). For men, the basic look should look someone Armani casual (think Ricky Martin - only black, not brown) For women, the look should be dance clothingesque. I mean that in the sense that they should be flowing so that they move with the dancer. Think dance skirts, leatards, and the like. What is MOST important for all cast members is that they be, as stated above, all black, and that they be flattering to the size and shape of the wearer. All leads will also have a basic costume they wear as thier chararcters. They are listed below.
