Hi everyone,

We have a production of The King and I coming up in February and are looking to possibly rent a set of costumes for the show. Does anyone have a set or know of some sources?

Please email me at mailto:bernster74@hotmail.com - bernster74@hotmail.com if you have leads.

Thanks all!

Bernie

For the "Uncle Thomas Ballet" portion of King and I, we rented all the awesome styrofoam masks from reknowned scenic artist John Saari, (inventor of Sculpt-or-Coat), at Greensboro College. The scary "Simon" mask and the stunning "Scientific Dogs" were from John. Plus he has masks for "Eliza" and many other characters. I highly recommend these. Here is a link to photos of my production two years ago. Scroll half-way down my page and click on the photos to enlarge them.

And here is a link to Greensboro College Theatre:

(I've also rented Greased Lightning for Grease and Audrey II puppets for Little Shop of Horrors from John).

By the way, all of the outstanding dresses for Anna in our production were rented from Broadway Costumes in New York.

Have a good show! -Dana
