Historical Theater Gems

On my spring break here in Washington, D.C. and yesterday we saw these gems that I thought you theater people might enjoy!

The first pictures are of Elphaba's original dress worn by, of course, Idina Menzel in Wicked. It is so incredibly detailed and overall was worth thousands and thousands of dollars. Beautiful!

And the next two pictures are Dorothy's ruby slippers! They were worn by Judy Garland and we read that she actually had multiple pairs of these slippers. These have felt on the bottom so that when she danced it would not be too loud on the floors of the emerald city or the yellow brick road.
