A couple of days ago, DannyV posed the question about our forthcoming show Winnie-the-Pooh, “Is it full costume, as in like, a bear costume for pooh etc., no costume, or semi costume?” And it seems to be the case that the answer right now is… we don’t know yet!
More specifically, the issue of costumes for Pooh is proving to be as much of a creative process as the rehearsals and other aspects of the production. So, all manner of experiments are taking place trying to find that best combination of matching the characters and their personalities, and also contributing to the show’s overall mise en scène.
And as these recent pictures show (note how different Pooh looks in each, for example), it’s not just the costumes that need to be considered, but also the make-up that’s currently being experimented with as well…
So, to answer the original question more properly, things are still ongoing regarding costumes and make-up, with all to be revealed in January. For now though, rest assured that if these aspects match the high level of confidence currently surrounding the production, then how the characters look will be one more brilliant aspect of what is sure to be a great show!
