![]() Act II costumes: Here is a close up of final scene costumes for Elphaba and Glinda. Megan Hilty and Eden Espinosa stepped forward to speak during the curtain call after the 1000th performance of Wicked. Each costume was built individually beginning with a muslin pattern that is fitted to the actor. Special New York costume houses completed the costumes.
On the left is the "bubble dress" also used when Glinda first descends in her bubble. Elphaba's highly textured gown is thickly layered with fabric folding back onto itself. Here the costumes must represent the two character's complete development into the famed Good Witch and Wicked Witch of the West. Costume Research and Construction ![]() ![]() ![]() |
