One Dress a Day Challenge

June: Brown Redux

Summer Stock / Judy Garland as Jane Falbury

Obviously, the bright orange inserts are the major feature of this dress--and very striking, too. They look great when the dress is in motion and also give it a flattering line when Garland is standing still.

I'm not certain whether the scarf in the front is actually a continuation of the panels in back or if it's a separate piece that's made to look like it joins up with the back panels. I suspect the latter, as that would probably be easier to achieve, and it would also be the reason for the brown tabs at the shoulders.

In the front center, we see just a hint of a pastel patterned material filling in the slit down the front. It's very likely just an insert, rather than an actual separate layer.

@northernmariette brought this dress to my attention ages ago--and I must thank her for doing so, because it's been far too long since I've watched this movie. I'll have to remedy that soon!

Finally, I'd also like to give honorable mention to a nice brown sweater-and-skirt ensemble worn by one of the other dancers in this scene (can't remember whether it's a named character or not):

Corbin Bleu and Stephanie Styles will headline a private industry reading of the Broadway-bound musical comedy, Get Happy. The invitation-only reading will be held on January 17 in New York City. Get Happy, which premiered under the title Summer Stock in 2023 at Connecticut’s esteemed Goodspeed Musicals, features book and additional lyrics by four-time Emmy Award winner Cheri Steinkellner, musical supervision, arrangements and orchestrations by three-time Tony Award winner Doug Besterman, and will be directed and choreographed by Donna Feore, making her long-awaited New York City debut after years of acclaimed work at Canada’s Stratford Festival. Read the reviews for the Goodspeed production here. The producers are Steve Peters and Michael Londra of VenuWorks Theatricals, Greg & Marissa Frankenfield of Excelsior Entertainment, and executive producers Carolyn Rossi Copeland and Nancy Nagel Gibbs. Get Happy is produced by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures. Bleu and Styles, reuniting after starring opposite each other in the 2019 Broadway revival of Kiss Me, Kate, will play the roles of Joe Ross and Jane Falbury, originally played onscreen by Gene Kelly and Judy Garland. The reading will also feature Stephen Lee Anderson (Broadway: Bright Star, Fiddler on the Roof, Wicked) as Lt. Henry ‘Pop’ Falbury, Gilbert L. Bailey II (Broadway: The Book of Mormon, Beetlejuice) as Phil Filmore, Tony Award nominee Veanne Cox (Broadway: Company; Caroline, or Change; La Cage aux Folles) as Margaret Wingate, Zoe Jensen (Broadway: Six; The Heart of Rock and Roll) as Gloria Falbury, Will Roland (Broadway: Dear Evan Hansen; Be More Chill) as Orville Wingate, and Tony Award nominee Douglas Sills (Broadway: The Scarlet Pimpernel; Little Shop of Horrors; War Paint) as Montgomery Leach, with Nicholas Cunha, Francesca Mancuso, Corinne Munsch, Kaylee Olson, Aaron Patterson, Jack Sippel, and Cayel Tregeagle. When the company of a new Broadway show loses their rehearsal space, the gang hoofs it to a family farm in Connecticut where, in the best musical tradition, the show must go on. Along the way, there are unlikely romances, some of the greatest songs of the American songbook, show-stopping choreography, and a farm – and a musical – to save.

I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING

[jacklefay]

I keep thinking about how Andrew Scott wants to do a musical and also more romantic comedies and trying to figure out what a good fit for him could be

Summer Stock could be nice. Doesn't require a ton of singing, although there are bigger dance scenes, but those could be choreographed differently.

Worked for about a month in Charleston, South Carolina for Spoleto Festival USA.

Set up some amazing shows in beautiful venues. Here’s just one!

November: Grey Redux

Summer Stock / Judy Garland as Jane Falbury

This grey striped dress is both cute and sensible, with its practical color and front pockets. The wide lapels are echoed by the turned-up sleeve cuffs with their sharply pointed edges.

I can't help wondering if the vertical stripes were designed for a slimming effect, as Judy Garland was struggling with her weight during filming. Whatever the reason, the effect is charming.
