The musical theatre highlight from the last few years was undoubtedly designing and producing, along with Tim Goodchild, the costumes for Michael Rose’s new production of ELF.
The performers dressed as tiny Elves (on their knees) was our favourite design, along with the tacky ‘elf’ dressed workers in Macy’s department store, you’d never seen such glitz! Creating Ben Forster’s ‘Buddy the elf’ look was great fun with hand knitted gloves and leg warmers to help set off his beautiful green woollen suit! Finishing the cast in a beautiful cream finale set, laced with sparkling crystals, meant the show finished on a perfect christmas scene!
Watching Elf’s progress from the theatre Royal Plymouth, in it’s first year, to the Dominion Theatre in the second, was magical for all of us at Carry on and we would like to thank everyone involved for making our West end debut such a joy!
