original movie which any Grease fan could agree couldn’t have fitted any better. Grease was set in the 1960’s where the guys wore white t-shirts, leather jackets, and pants rolled up. The girls would wear flowy dresses or “poodle skirts.” All of the costumes gave off the 1960’s feeling, they were also similar to the attire worn in Grease. The lights were very basic in this particular piece; the entire stage was basically lit up the entire time. The lighting director got away with this style…

enters the tollbooth that magically appears at the foot of his bed which gets him thrown into the biggest adventure of his life. The Phantom Tollbooth was a great play put on by amature actors from Bert Bowes School and I’ll be criticizing its Sets, Costumes, and Highlights. The sets were great.

There needs to be more background of each world and a smoother connection between them in order…

Those costumes seem harmless enough right, just dressing up and having a good time getting lots of candy. Unfortunately some of the costumes both in the past as well as today are a bit questionable and actually offensive…

phenomenal job at grabbing anyone’s attention to the film either it’s from the costume design to the comical script and the famous musical number in the film or even the technical department in making the witches come to life as well as the departed.
