Dressing Up 4

Posted on December 01, 2010 by Jennib And Friends

Costumes play an important part of special events, holidays, and entertainment as they let the wearer and the viewer to have a much better experience of the given situation. Such as the clown suit the clown wore who made you a balloon animal during your birthday or the cowboy who was riding the stallion down the street while you were watching a parade from the sidewalk. Costumes allows people to play out their imaginations and fantasies to however they wish and allows for them to appreciate the given situation many times more if there was no costume involved.

During a sports game there may be a mascot character that appears before an audience to try to rally them up to cheer for their team to win the match, or during the Christmas season there would be many people in Santa Claus outfits to try and spread the holiday cheer. Costumes allow a person to enjoy the ambiance of the occasion a lot more than it would have been if there was no one in costume.

Movies, plays, musicals, and operas wouldn’t be the same without a costume or as it is more commonly known, a wardrobe. Imagine trying to watch a classical opera with the singers wearing 21st century New York street clothing or a science-fiction action film that takes place deep in space with the actors in business attire. As amusing it may be, it wouldn’t give the same sense of enjoyment and suspense as it would have if they were wearing frilly dresses and suits or clothing that seems futuristic and allows for the addition of alien creatures.

Probably the biggest holiday that revolves almost entirely on costumes is on All Hallows’ Eve or as it is more commonly known, Halloween. While the majority are young children and teenagers, adults are also known to participate by dressing up in a costume to celebrate on this pagan holiday.

In Musical theater there are not many real House songs, but there are a number of songs you can alter to make your performance cross that invisible fourth wall between you and the audience.

In this article I suggest 60 songs for women from the Musical Theater repertoire that could be sung as a House song. They fall into three categories: the true House song, the audience number and the soliloquy.

In the first category, the true House song, the musical is written deliberately for the character to step out of the drama and speak to the viewers. Think of Diva’s Lament from Spamalot, or You Can Always Count On Me from City of Angels. When You’re Good To Mama from Chicago springs to mind immediately. Other true House songs include Big Spender from Sweet Charity (originally a chorus number but can be sung by one person), I’m Still Here from Follies, Broadway Baby from Follies, I Just Wanna Dance from Jerry Springer, Jonny One Note from Babes in Arms, and Nobody Does It Like Me – the Cy Coleman song from the musical SeeSaw.
