I’ve been invited to a friend’s birthday party and she’s having a musicals fancy dress theme. Any ideas please?

The Liza Minnelli character from Chicago

Oh god. My worst nightmare. I hate fancy dress.

However, on the musicals theme Cats would be very easy. Cat ears and a tail. Or Phantom of the Opera. Masks are easy to come by.

Or use a witch hat left over from Halloween? Wicked!

I'm not sure why but the first one that's easy that popped to mind was Violet Beauregarde.

Anything from Cats, one of the witches from Wicked, Magenta or Columbia from Rocky Horror, something Fame-themed, Annie, Evita...

Annie?😂

Her out of the Greatest Showman?
Dorothy?
Eliza Doolittle? Long dress and tray of flowers
Mac and Brolly and you are Gene Kelly from singing in the rain?

I did Liza in Cabaret once, was pretty easy.

Dancer12345 · 13/03/2019 21:36

Ooh some great ideas there! I’ve been Dorothy in the past so don’t want to do that again. Liking the idea of Liza Minnelli but not sure I’m that brave! I thought of a witch from Wicked, but I want something different. Think I’ll pass on Violet!

Rocky Horror would be ace! Quite excited by that prospect. Off to google for ideas.

If going as Elfaba be careful. My sister was green for three days 🤢

I hate fancy dress too. I would go with a pink lady outfit from grease. You can pick up the jacket pretty cheap. I have one and wore it with black cropped trousers, black top and a scarf around my neck.

Pink Lady - Grease
Sandy - Grease
Nancy - Oliver
Eliza Doolittle- My fair lady

Mrs Trunchbull or Miss Honey from Matilda?

Dancer12345 · 13/03/2019 22:22

I hadn’t even thought of some of these musicals! I love fancy dress, it’s just so hard to decide.
