Love never dies

~Who was that shape in the shadows ? Whose is the face in the mask ? ~Wildly, my mind beats against you , yet the soul obeys

So I keep stumbling across photos I’m thinking is from a new souvenir brochure from the restaged US tour. Does anyone have better scans of this?

I’ll paint you mornings of gold. I’ll spin you Valentine evenings. Though we’re strangers ‘til now, We’re choosing the path between the stars. I’ll leave my love between the stars.

Designs for Meg Giry and her costumes:  1. The Hannibal “Slavegirl” costume. Generic costume design, as all ballet girls wears this costume. Photo of Paloma Garcia Lee/Broadway.  2. The Degas costume. Again a generic design. Furthermore, the Degas costumes was changed from an idea where a false bodice was just put over the Slavegirl costume, to a version closer modeled after a Degas sculpture, so this isn’t really what the costume makers goes by. Still, this is the original Degas sketch, here with a photo of Deanna Doyle/Broadway.  3. Meg as “Jeweler’s Maid” in Il Muto. A Meg unique sketch, showing a polonaise like Rococo dress and a mob cap. The design also shows brooched high heeled shoes. Photo of Anna Grönros/Copenhagen.  4. The “Sylvan Glade” ballet costume from Il Muto. Generic costumes worn by all ballerinas. This is more of a Rococo pastiche; a Rococo version of a pastoral theme. Here with a photo of Lara Glew/Stuttgart.  5. Meg in Masquerade. A Meg unique sketch, with a pink “justaucorps” jacket and black tights with pink dots. The design suggests a gold theme on top - gold boots, gold appliquées/braids, and golden hair. Photo of Anna Forbes/West End.  6. Meg disguised as a boy in the Final Lair. A Meg unique sketch. Under the costume is a harness for a safety line when she climbs down the portcullis. Photo of Lara Glew/Stuttgart.
