Katherine and Hannah costumes

Plus a little bit of Brooklyn - but only the actresses who have also played Katherine/Hannah.

Under the cut as it’s long.

Bronté Barbé

The main actress for Katherine, I’ve seen her twice. As she’s the main actress, she doesn’t play any other characters.

I love the black stripes on her lapel and around the hem of her skirt.

It’s three different shades of blue - skirt and waistcoat front very similar (and seems to be denim? Or at least a chambray sort of thing), and the much darker blue waistcoat back.

She has four “tabs” topstitched onto her skirt - two thin ones at the front which hide a large pocket on each side (for her notebook/pencil etc), plus two much larger ones on the back.

Unlike the Broadway version, Katherine only has one costume which stays identical except during King of New York where she removes the waistcoat - showing the details of her shirt and her belt (which is completely hidden in her full outfit)

Hair wise, Bronté has soft blonde curls with the very edges barely rolled back. Some photos turn her more strawberry blonde / light ginger but I’m pretty sure she’s “supposed” to be blonde.

Going from hair “down” to hair “up” is one of the most obvious markers of adulthood at this age, and historically happened around age 16 for Katherine’s social standing but that would make Katherine 15 so we’re ignoring that slightly. I’d still say Bronté’s Katherine is at most 16 - she’s the most naive of the three Katherine’s.

—————-

Bobbie Chambers

Bobbie’s usual role is Hannah (Pulitzer’s assistant) and she’s alternate/1st understudy for Katherine as well. I’ve seen her play Katherine four times, and Hannah twice, and she is my personal favourite Katherine.

As you can see, her Katherine outfit shares a lot of commonalities with Bronté’s (skirt, waistcoat, shirt and tie combo - with blue bring her primary colour).

But there are also the obvious differences - her skirt is a subtly patterned - a thin windowpane-type check, with larger vertical stripes running through the centre of the boxes - and she has a large kangaroo style pocket on the centre front of her skirt.

Her hair is definitely ginger, slightly curled and pulled back at the edges - slightly more than Bronté but not even close to centre back. She’s more of trouble maker than Bronté I feel, and is probably 16-17.

Hannah

Hannah's costume shares a lot with Katherine - it's the same cut (in a more serious colour), but her hair is "up" now - Hannah is definitely an adult while Katherine still occupies the in between spaces.

Splint

Splint is one of the Brooklyn Newsies, a very different social standing (and judging by the hair - age) to Katherine and Hannah, but there's still the elements of Bobbie's Hannah and Katherine (mostly in the hair colour)

—————-

Lindsay Atherton

Lindsay is a swing - she covers both Hannah and Katherine. I've seen her play Hannah three times, but I've only listened to an audio of her Katherine, not actually seen her.

The first thing about Lindsay's Katherine is that her costume isn't blue like Bronte and Bobbie's, but is more sombre coloured - also her hair is far more pulled back than the other two. I'd put her as older than the other two Katherine's - but still only in the 17-18 age range. She's also got the really tight blonde curls (Merida curls as I usually refer to them).

Which when you look at her Hannah:

It's the same dress (skirt/waistcoat - same difference). Trust me I spent way too long looking at seam placement and stripes to double check what anyone with eyes can see.

However - it's not the same outfit - Hannah's shirt has the lace/frills at the cuffs and the collar, while Katherine's is much more functional. Hannah's hair is also pulled "up" to make her a proper grownup - but it's still very clearly the same blonde Merida curls, only tamed by age.

And then there's Mack:

(Lindsay's Brooklyn Newsie character) We've got the hair continuing - Mack's hair looks like you cut Katherine's hair short then didn't take proper care of it (which for a Brooklyn newsie - tracks), plus there's the continuation of the pinstripes in Mack's shirt.

Imogen Bailey

Finally Imogen Bailey - another swing, who covers Hannah but not Katherine (at least as far as I can tell). I've seen her Hannah once.

Which has the Hannah elements from the other two actresses, but also is the only brunette, which carries into her Brooklyn Newsie - Stray.

I just enjoy how the different actresses have the opportunity to make the character their own through costume differences, not just through their acting choices.

It was also a fun experience in person getting to see all the different costumes.

This kinda got away from me.

Anyway - tl:dr - the similarities and differences between the same characters are fun, and nearly as fun as the similarities and differences between the same actress.

Another thing for Black History Month is Jazz! Jazz was invented during the late 19th century in the African-American communities of New Orleans, Louisiana and while the genre has been a staple for many, many people, one thing people may tend to gloss over is one of the earlier pioneers of the jazz music, known earlier as “jass”. Charles Joseph “Buddy” Bolden. Born in 1877, Buddy would end up leading an early band that was active between the periods of 1900-1907, known for loud sound, early examples of improvisation and brass instruments in the bands, playing ear by ear, and having an impactful career on the musicians who he played with/surrounded him! He’s also credited for inventing a rhymtic innovation called “The Big Four” and was the first “King of Jazz”

In 1907, Bolden was diagnosed with Schizophrenia (at the time, called dementia parecox) after suffering an episode of acute alcoholic pyschosis and was committed to a mental asylum, putting an end to the band and his music career as he ultimately ended up passing in 1934. During the time he was committed, jazz music became popular amongst both black and white people alike, despite some info like him marrying Hattie Oliver and had a son named Charles Jr in 1897 and the like, his life is shrouded in colorful, first hand oral traditions and myths, and his (alleged) recorded music doesn’t survive since it was recorded on photograph cylinders, which at the time, was the standard for recording music before it lost popularity in the 1910’s before being discontinued in 1929.

Overall, Bolden had a massive impact on what would be later known as jazz as we know it! Mixing ragtime, blues, and allegedly, gospel music, and while he and others are gone, he is not forgotten!

Koopa's Road but in the style of Edward's theme (sort of). I don't have access to the original show's instruments, so I attempted to closely mock-up the cowbell sounds of Edward's leitmotif and such.

Full-quality art (which I totally forgot to post on Halloween)

Just occurred to me that The Addams Family (1964) is one of the oldest pieces of non-book (or play) media I enjoy. That's older than any of the music I listen to, even. Only a couple of classic movies like It's A Wonderful Life and Rebecca (both definitely in my top 20 fave movies) are older. Wild!

#draco speaks #I only go back to very late 60s in my musical taste #obviously the books I love go back to about 1808 lmaoooo #which is still not that far compared to a lot of classic lit people I've never been interested in any 1700s stuff #aaaand then there's Shakespeare lol #best literary decade was the 1890s btw. so much absolutely classic shit being published then
