Backstage Access

 

Don't they look great? Nyasha was gorgous with her hair up, and I was lucky to catch these two shots of the beautiful Capulet ladies!

 

 Poor Melissa (Lady Montague) couldn't see without glasses, and of course couldn't wear them in costume. So we catch a scene where Robin is leading her to the snack table backstage (notice the other cast members diving for food)

Beth had a running battle with the stand up collar. Part of the problem was in it being "detachable" for the dance scene. This was the first time I had made a collar like this, and I think they are supposed to have stays all the way down the back to work right. And as it detached, this was not possible. Anyway Beth is a real trooper, and made it work! (BTW the collar is NOT Lord of the Rings but more Elizabethan, so this is a costume technical glitch. Never mind, it worked).

Cameron the ever charismatic

 

 Lord Capulet consults with Tybalt, while naughty servants scrawl graffiti in the background!

And Lord Montague (Darius Litt) gets in some time at the keyboards in the Green Room 

 

Lord Capulet being sassed by one of his men

 

Tybalt in a very good mood :)

 

I don't know the guy in the middle, he's someone's friend who snuck backstage

 

Eli/Paris (no that's not a topknot, it's his party mask)
