IF THEY WOULD, THEY COULD!
To the left, recent UK made Star Princess bodices worn in the UK and in Asia. To the right, new UK made bodices, also worn in the UK and Asia.
ROW 1: Claire Lyon in the World Tour revival, and Lucy St Louis in the West End revival
ROW 2: Pan Hangwei in Beijing, and Lucy St Louis in the West End revival
ROW 3: Lucy St Louis in the filmed West End fitting, and Son Eun Hye in the Seoul revival
ROW 4: Holly-Anne Hull in the UK Tour revival and early West End revival, and Lily Kerhoas, West End revival
ROW 5: Claire Lyon in the World Tour revival, and Kown Ga Min in the Seoul revival
I am not shaming the individual wearers. They are beautiful and talented and put on the assigned costume. I am also not shaming the individual costume makers. They make what they are asked to make. Chances are some of these bodices were even made by the same costume makers. I am shaming the decision of going from what reflects on Maria Bjørnson's rich design, to stripped-down, half-assed bodices which sometimes doesn't even seem to be properly fitted to the actress.
OK, so the general audience may not notice. But for example in photos it is quite visible. You can do better. The column to the left is a proof you both CAN and HAVE done better. As it is now some fan replicas looks a lot better than the stage equivalent. I'm not sure that's what you want. Just... up the game goddamnit!
