Hmmm...So my DVD player is broken and I am stuck watching VHS tapes. At the moment, I am watching the OBC of Into The Woods and the wolf just sang Hello Little Girl. I've never noticed this before but the wolf has very umm... pronounced genitalia. Anyone else ever notice this?My non-theatrical roommate actually noticed it first and was pretty dern confused. "Why did they have to make that costume so you can see the wolf's big pee-pee?" <-- her exact words.... yes, we are in college and she said pee pee, hahaha. Anyways, just thought I'd see if anyone else noticed that. |

Indeed. It was one of those delightful instances where you go "Wait, does he have a..." and than he turns to the front and everyone screams. | ||||

Haha, guess I'm just slow then. Although I think the last time I watched this I was about 9 years old and didn't really pay attention to it, haha. | ||||

It's ok, I was watching the DVD of ITW earlier this evening and was slightly mystified by it again. I've seen it before but was still thinking "Why did they do that?" | ||||

What a dumb decision to make, eh? The rest of the costumes's great... but it just makes things rather weird. I mean, if he's smart enough to wear a jacket, he would at least put some boxers on!

I was under the impression it was to emphasise the sexual predator side of it; like an uncontrollable urge. His inability to control his 'appetite'. *shrug* I want to say something inappropriate now, but will resist temptation

That is what I kind of thought of too.... but damn, is it really necessary to emphasize it THAT much? hahaa |
||||
| Jordan |
I think it's easy enough to give over the message about his irrepressable sexual urges without that appendage flapping about!
Actually, I say flapping... It doesn't move much, can you imagine being in the costume department discussing size, movement, how best to stop it flapping about...

that's two awkward turtles for GB tonight... |

I was thinking how awkward it would have been in the costume dept. Still, I'm broad shouldered, I can take as many awkward turtles as you can skewer. | ||||

The first time I was in ITW the wolf had this appendage. It was so awkward, cause we'd be hanging backstage, and he'd be standing there, wolf penis all 'flapping' about. Awkward to have a penis flap at you onstage. | ||||
| Jordan |
It's awkward if they flap anywhere except by express invitation! 
|
||||
| PappyCat |
It's not even a wolf penis, it's the size of a human's! | ||||
| Jordan |
In case you hadn't noticed... It's played by a grown man.

When we did Canterbury Tales in college, I got to measure all the boys for their codpieces. Good times.... |

I just remembered that when we did La Cage, the guys were wearing leotards to play the Cagelles and I was sat on the floor by the director taking blocking notes for her when they did their first costume rehearsal in our rehearsal space. It was possible to tell the religion of the guys!
Luckily I didn't have to mention it to the director, she just whispered a costume note to me about padding for the guys costumes and I knew what she meant.
