I would recommend turning on captions for this video. They have the Show, and the Song Title. Thank you so much for watching! Subscribe for new musical theatre content every week!
Great compilation!!! Quick change suggestion if you do another one?? Sweaty Eddie's 2 costume changes occurring in one song from Sister Act
"I could be that guy" is the song from Sister Act
Hey! The same company who did the non-Broadway Little Mermaid also did an AWESOME Cinderella quick change.
Go to 4:48 in the link, and I hope you enjoy (: vimeo.com/110101448?fbclid=IwAR3-clLPPf7oAi4a8S9QbhUhlTCPQNE9Enf86kKYAuh7BK1G6t8lgPazs84
@@juliasalloum7511 I’m just now seeing this. Wow, thank you for sharing! That is so cool! I will definitely include that in part 2.
Eee
The revenge party quick change will never not amaze me
Michael Duffy which one was that
maja 2:47
Ikr! I actually replayed it tons of times the first time that I saw it!!!
Agreed. It’s just so seamless looking.
I audibly gasp everyone I see it it's so good
Still confused at how the pole slidey legally blonde quick change happens
pretty sure there's a girl on the bottom of the pole, the girl in the robe crouches down and the girl on the other side slides down./
it's actually a male ensemble member in the pink robe and face mask and the other girl is hiding behind the banner on the pole.
charlo_bert it’s 2 people
There was also a set of twins in the ensemble of the original cast so that’s also likely
I think it helps that one of the girls is covered in a mud face mask and also that you only see either girl for two seconds at most. And that the majority of people watching are 30 feet away from the stage. Lol
these are all amazing but let’s talk about leslie kritzer’s quick change in beetlejuice from delia to miss argentina. i know it’s not an on stage quick change but she has 3 minutes to paint her face and put the green bodysuit on and the rest of the outfit. it’s truly amazing.
Vicky Torres
3 minutes to do all of that? jesus
lixonzito there’s a video on playbill and yeah it’s crazy fast (she then has to take it all off to go back to delia)
As a volunteer backstage who had to paint fiona’s face green during the wedding scene in Shrek Jr. I know how hard that must be oh my god.
She was actually wearing the body suit underneath her Delia dress, but still! Plus the wig!
3 minutes is a lifetime in costume changes. I once had 3 numbers back to back - strip down to foundation garment changes between each, no time to go back to the dressing room, only as much time as the Emcee took to introduce the next piece.
Another one I had 3 minutes to totally change everything INCLUDING hairstyle (no wigs for that show). Finished, properly stowed the old costume, and probably could've had a snack.
It's the makeup that takes forever. Everything else is surprisingly easy once you've been doing it awhile.
I’m surprised no one is talking about the Fiona one, ya I know it was the movie musical version but that actually happens in the show. It just amazes me!
I'm pretty sure the actual Fiona actress goes offstage to change and they use a stand in because when the fairytale creatures all arrive they block her for a second and then she's facing away from the audience until the lighting affect happens for the transformation
@@nathancreek6086 nope, it's the same actor, while the mist is covering her, the prosthetics are put on and a certain special effects green light is spotlighted on just her :)
@@nathancreek6086 i agree with you
I remember noticing that when I saw it in London
Those are 2 people
WindowTheTeslaTooth wait are you serious😦 I watched the proshot recently and thought for sure it was a different actress because she had her back to the audience the whole time
I was in a high school version and ya we had a stand in girl with the vail covering her face
An Ireelevent side story: Yesterday I was singing and thinking about my dream roles, and I happened to be singing "Let it go". I thought to myself, "Playing Elsa would be fun", but I told myself "Nah, I'm black, it would look weird" so I moved on. But seeing the girl at 0:50 really just made my day. If you read my story, thanks, and never doubt yourself! :3
EDIT: DUDE WHAT IN THE WORLD! I just saw some irony in this video and now there's an entire community of people here talking and sharing stories. It's amazing! I love you all!
that's cool honestly, I think she makes a great Elsa and I'm sure you would too! ^-^
@@honhonhonbaguettes aww thanks! :3
I think that all the time.
REPRESENTATION MATTERS!!!
Ciara Renee, the current Elsa, is a WoC ☺️
I would love to see a backstage change of Sophia in beetlejuice. From changing to the red dress, the yellow and the netherworld dress. If you have seen the show you will know the time between Sophia changing are VERY QUICK
Also in beetlejuice she has to wear the black dress and long skirt under the dress so how do they get that whole dam thing off in like 40 seconds???
You mean at the end when she goes from the dress with the long skirt to her regular dress for the curtain call? I’ve wondered the same thing! I don’t know for sure, but I’m guessing the long skirt can be detached quickly backstage and her regular dress is underneath. If you look, both dresses have the same top.
@@Alexa-ot6fo yea she wears the black dress under the red dress and when she changes from the netherworld dress to the blacl dress with the red on top.
But have you seen Leslie Kritzer change from Delia to Miss Argentina and back to Delia?
You can see the red dress fro creepy old guy underneath her outfit
i think it was presley ryan who mentioned this , but she has like a massager that’s helps massage her vocal cords and her shoulders to help with all the weight she has to carry during the show
Have y’all seen how many times the first quick change fails? It’s so hard to watch and it hurts inside to see it.
Sofia Mott i for a second thought it was gonna be the fail one but I’m glad I finally got closure
Sofia Mott I looooooove the fails 🙃
I just finished watching a video where it failed for a second but luckily the actress handled it like a QUEEN and after she fixed it acted like nothing happened and continued the song
Yeah and also she looks like she shoved three pillows down her chest. Terrible costume to be honest.
That's why I will not watch it 🙂
The fact that there was a black woman cast as Elsa is amazing! I love that so much!
I support the black community just a bit weird lol
DonutsRcoolz ...the black community? what dude it’s a whole race. how is it weird?
@@angel72987 I think they ment seeing elsa being played by a black woman
M E M E S but why would it be weird?
@@angel72987 idk maybe cause there so used to seeing her white?? Idk tbh
The amount of Elsas here just prove my point that this dress was well taught and is damn impressive, even without the blinking lights
Plus it makes sense, I mean she makes that dress even letting her unclip it, works
Jafar's transformation makes me laugh because it's like a quick change turducken
That was the most impressive to me
I saw Aladdin when it came to my state and let’s just say, there was this one girl who left the stage for one second and came out in a different outfit. Like, you can tell it was her because she wore the same hat but her change was quick af. Also, Jaguars transitions in real life at amazing
I don't know why but I really like the spinny costume changes. It's always magical to me. Like a plain, boring dress, and a twirl, and BOOM.... beautiful gown. ❤
I was so amazed at Beetlejuice when I saw it that I didn’t know that there was a quick change until right now-
omg fr
I see beetlejuice, I click
Nev Nev glad you liked it! Don’t miss my premiere for a Beetlejuice TH-cam Video tommorow at 1 PM EST. (I upload theatre content every Friday) th-cam.com/video/VCi8NV5qKrg/w-d-xo.html
Nev Nev
I was the same lol
Same ahahah
Same
Same
at 1:03 with beetlejuice, i love how he screams when he transforms.
I’ll never understand why Cinderella I’m Broadway never actually did that quick change. The quick change they do on stage is so clunky and unimpressive.
I read somewhere that Laura Osnes said that he built that just for the Tony's and that the reason they don't use it for the show is because it's really heavy and she would have to wear it the whole show. I don't know if I could find that article though. 😬
I went to go see the tour and I felt like it was way cooler from far away because with the cameras so close you see the steps she's taking to so the change.
@@flyynn913 The costume can still be heavy and look impressive, it may be easier and I get why they don’t use it but that doesn’t mean the change looks better
Also chill sis no need to get all pressed about this-
I saw the Little Mermaid on Broadway at the very beginning of the show’s run. I remember my mother watching and being like, that is not the actor who plays Ariel/Eric. That is a double,” any time they would hide the actor’s face while the actor floated around while becoming human or while being saved from drowning. Lol. I later found out that the did the same trick with Boq in Wicked and Fiona in Shrek and the Witch in Into the Woods and the chick on the fireman-style pole in Legally Blonde. Like, it just works. lol.
Lauren Conrad bich* lol
it's done in Phantom as well
How in the hell does the shrek one happen , so confused
Since that clip was from the filmed movie, it lost some of the theatre magic. Traditionally, Fiona is swapped out for a double for a minute or two, and the real Fiona goes backstage for rapid makeup and prosthetics. When double Fiona puts her hands up, the smoke allows for the real one to come back out, I think. I could be a little incorrect, it's been a few years since I looked into it, but I'm like 90 percent sure
That is correct :)
Thankyouuu , this was bothering me
Its hook n loop taped full length
Held firmly by the guy behind ..
She walks fwd it rips in half...
She walks out if it ..
Firm walk fwd is essential
Form grip by guy at back..
Thomas Lowdon not for the shrek one, it’s just a body double and they swap so the Fiona can turn into the ogre. :)
Boq in Wicked always amazed me. I later learned that it’s a body double already in silver makeup and that the body double lip syncs Boq’s last bit of dialogue in the scene, which got pre-recorded or something.
Does that mean the actual Boq has to get made up in silver make up solely for March of the witch hunters?! Crikey 😂
@@woolette5866 I understood that there's a body double already done up as Tinman, presumably behind the wardrobe, that switches out during Nessa's song, and he lip-syncs over Boq's lines in the Witch Hunters song.
@@Roadent1241 correct except it is the real Boq for Witch Hunters :)
@@bydivadream Ah, thank you!
When I was a freshman in high school my choir went on a trip to see a tour production of Cinderella, honestly i wasn't that excited because i was thinking "its just cinderella I've seen this story so many times who cares". The first quick change she has going from the rags to the gown literally made me burst into tears it was so magical, now i have a huge soft spot for cinderella
Reminder that backstage quick changes on Broadway and other theatres are done by a crew of people who are underappreciated. Leslie Kritzer had a team of people for Beetlejuice. Rob McClure has two dressers for Mrs Doubtfire. They don't do it alone. And quite a few doubles are used.
What about in tto when joey’s switching characters at lightning speed
Ah, another Starkid fanatic.
If we're going to talk about Joey's quick changes in tto we've gotta mention Brian in Solve it Squad
Abby Maskell especially when they are all in one scene
@@AbbyMaskell the proposal scene
Joey played like eight characters in the span of 5 minutes
They all trip me out like HOW ARE THE DOING IT
Most the time magnets
2:25 “I’m NoT A FrEaK NoT A FrEak I’m A GeEk”
I see everyone talking about the Legally Blonde poll change but can we talk about Dorothy’s quick change at 0:19!? That was amazing!!
Danielle did good as dorothy
how tf did they do it i swear
@@abigailw7146 IT's a spin quick change dress, kind of like in Cinderlla.
"Magic doesn't exist in the real world !"
Yes, it does.
And the witches and wizards are called "broadway dressers".
Thank you!
How on earth do they pull off the Frozen one?!
In frozen on broadway there’s a release on the back of the dress and there’s a vacuum under the stage that takes the dress
V I B E B A B Y Cool! Thanks 🙂
She is rigged all different types of wats
lots of magnets! I know someone who was a dresser for Frozen on Broadway.
It's cool when you think about it ,🤔
2:47 is the best one, and I love this one as well, so creative lol
Sometimes there's a very fine line between theatre and stage magic. Some of these I'm just staring at the clip over and over trying to figure out how it's done.
Costume changes on stage always fascinated me because they are so damn cool.. One of my favorites is Squidward putting on his tux jacket during "I'm Not a Loser'' in Spongebob the Musical
I love how everyone was kinda normal and then there's beetlejuice "I'M A CREEPY OLD GUY!"
I’m 14 years old and I’m in the junior version of 42nd street thank you so much for showing it some appreciation. It is honestly one try most difficult shows out there
Nothing will be faster then a girl changing out of her quince dress to her surprise dance like for a whole corset to a t-shirt and short or something 😂😂😂
Tysm for including how the one with the wheel was done! I am a HUGE behind the scenes nerd, and I love to see how quick changes are done! Great video!
How did Princess Fiona from Shrek: The Musical manage to fully dye herself in a moment. It's not just the outfit change, but the makeup that amazed me most of all.
It's a double. They shot that extra bit of Sutton Foster just for the DVD.
I like how you put the most impressive at the end. You think it’s over and then BAM! ReVeNgE pArTy
1:08 that was so smooth, what?! definetly my fave
Why is no one talking about the quick change at 1:16
Ethan Fonseca i guess its because its 2 people not one person they have the girl ready laying on the floor at the top of the pole and pink robe lays down other goes down the pole
It's not really a quick change
@@MizSazz aww I thought it was a quick change
fun fact: once we were doing frozen as a musical and we had dancers who were elsa's magic "rip" the costume off
for middle school productions it was pretty darn good
that one at 2:19 was spectacular like whaa how did they even
georgia hart the dress literally disappeared I looked at it a million times
It's pulled under the scrim behind her (possibly fishing wire and/or a vacuum?)
@꧁I love cats꧂ yall arnt getting the joke lmao
elsa's dress transformation-
Imagine being up on stage in a coronation gown, singing your heart out, then you look a little girl in the audience in the eye. You reach the transformation and allow yourself to catch and pull off your overdress, revealing your final gown. You see the little girl's eyes light up and in that moment you know why you wanted to become a Broadway movie actor.
1:50 it scares me because how its just a silhouette and its on low quality
How many of y’all backed it up a bunch of times 😂🙋🏽♀️
I just wanna say I absolutely love all the theater nerds in this comment section, even those who are just getting their feet wet by watching these kinds of videos. It’s so beautiful seeing theater magic, or rather the final product of the costume designer 💗💗
as someone who has done the Fiona quick change, as well as help pre-rig or preset many other moments like these, this kind of stuff is the most satisfying nerve-racking, and challenging things I have done!
The legally blonde quick change at 1:15 isn't even really a quick change. it's just a different person. I have no idea how they manage to have someone there and ready but it's 100% not possible for that to be a quick change.
That's the whole purpose of the banner, to hide the other actress. If you pay close attention, you'll notice it takes a couple of seconds longer than it should for the actress's feet to appear below the upper stage floor (if the first actress were really sliding down, she'd show up below the upper stage section faster... the couple of extra seconds that she is "missing" is the first actress getting off the pole and hiding behind the banner while the second actress gets on the pole and finishes sliding down).
brch2 and the first actress isn’t even an actress. It’s a male ensemble member.
The Fiona one is also a double, at least in the show it is. The clip used was the movie version, I belive
this made me almost cry. I miss theatre so much!
Aw man, I hope Alex still has that breakaway tux. I don't think I'll stop loving that show anytime soon 😊💚🖤💚
2:19 so we’re just gonna ignore how her tail just straight disappeared into thin air
THATS WHAT IM SAYING like where did it gO?!
I think it went under the white screen
@@neilarce2 oh yes i see it now thanks
It didn't, it basically 'sank'.
The west end heathers quick change in never shut up again is amazing
How is it that the "I'm a creepy old guy!" is so bizarre and yet so wholesome at the same time?
That just partially sums up the whole musical, lmao
Ngl I'm disappointed there was no Veronica-Beautiful quick change
I guess because it’s not on stage
emma catarino part 2 of this video coming in the future!
There is also the Heather Duke quick change in the London production during 'Never Shut Up Again'!
@@littlediz1995 I was about to suggest the same thing - probably my favourite quick change ever
The original Broadway let it go…ppl were cheering so loud that you couldn’t hear her sing…that is outstanding
How did the Off-Broadway Little Mermaid one even happen? The tail vanished into thin air!
if you mean the one where the girl is getting glitter poured on her head, if you look behind her there is what looks like a grate. what it is is a vent like a vacuum, so when the tail is placed slightly over it and the vent is turned on, the tail gets sucked inside of it very quickly, making it look like it disappeared.
@@gracebryson3252 Wow, that's... Wow.
2:06 I keep rewatching this
Same!
the we’re in the money quick changes impress me so much ughhh
Ridiculously simple. Nothing technical or fancy, just perfect timing.
doing that legally blonde change is the single most stressful thing I’ve ever experienced
im assuming the one in omigod so props to the costume dept for rigging dem dresses
0:50 This girls voice is STUNNING it gave me goosebumps. Her voice is magical
Heather Duke's change from green to red in the London production of Heathers is great as well, I don't think there's actual footage of it anywhere but I'm sure there's a slime tutorial on TH-cam that shows it
the quick change in sideshow from leave me alone to stuck with you is also amazing!!!
frozen was the first broadway show i've ever seen and i was blown away at elsa's quick change.
Oh my goodness, the black girl as Elsa, and with the quick change dress-
That honestly took my breath away.
Laura Osnes has another great costume change in Bandstand as a nod to her role in Cinderella... her outfits are gorgeous, and it takes place in the middle of a swing-style number with Corey Cott, so 👌
I saw Frozen on Broadway and I SWEAR THE CHANGE FOR ELSA WAS SO FAST- it was literally in half a second...
2:19 I- what- how- where did it go lol
It was pulled under the scrim behind her. Maybe with fishing wire and a vacuum?
i adore the way you typed this it's the cutest most wholesome reaction
Easy the floor ate lol😂
Thank you for uploading this. I love watching these quick change videos. :)
1:03 I’ve never seen footage of a Presley Ryan clip, she sounds great!!!! 🧡
0:29 I got to see that one from backstage in a show one time
i got chills watching these- they're so good!
Three elses transforming
beast transforming
and Danielle/dorothy transforming blue dress to green dress SO COOOL
Great list.. I would also add Sister Act 'That Guy'. Two quick changes in one song. :)
Mee thanks! I’ll keep that in mind for part 2
OMG Eddie In “I Can Be That Guy”!! Lol I helped with that quick change at my school and it failed like twice out of our 7 shows.
I've personally always loved Donny and Julia's quick changes in the beginning of Band in New York City from Bandstand. Sure they're not the most extravagant, but I find them fun to watch and they fit in with the scene transition very well
* lots of children’smovies in musical form +
Betelgeuse (beetlejuice): I’m a creepy old guy!
i LOOOVE the Mean Girls one at the end
This is why I wanna become someone who works in theatrical costumes
The first legally blonde costume change had memories coming back to me. When our school did it I was the one to help Elle remove the dress because I was the shortest. Too bad it got cancelled because of quarantine :(
Quick changes amaze me, I was backstage ready to dance in the nutcracker when this dude runs in from the stage and struggles to put on tights, slippers, and a crown on the floor lol. He played like 5 parts, it was crazy
That high school Little Mermaid one was well done, but I bet that girl was finding glitter on herself for the next 3 years.
I'm so gonna start going to plays again once I can, this quarantine makes you miss things you haven't done in years!
“Creepy old guy” out of context is amazing
Omg omg you guys, this is perfect, quick change surprise
Now sing it with the tune from Legally blonde
I had to rewatch some of these because they were so quick
0:56 they did this poor Elsa wrong. That wig is awful and they didn't bother to remake the nude illusion part of the costume to match her skin tone, they just gave her an outfit clearly made for a white woman so you get that awkward cut off neckline
Elsa’s Dress is like that movie, though you can see her dress ends
I help at a after skl group with children aged 5 to 7 and this one girl said to me the other day, I wish I could be a Disney princess for Halloween but there are none that look like me. Seeing a black elsa will make her day!
cady's quick change is so iconic
This remindes me of when i was in ballet and we had 2 minutes to change our full costumes, hair and makeup and run behind the stage that had like 50 cm of space to walk and appear on the other side of the stage
0:51 made me smile even though I’m not black ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 #blacklivesmatter
th-cam.com/video/b9FunEkhTNo/w-d-xo.html ..
For the first one I was expecting Elsa to have a wardrobe malfunction cause I seen that clip wayy too many times😂
that first one still makes me cringe remembering the video where she failed-
I’ve watched this like a million times
I'm a simple gal. I see Beetlejuice, I click
1:28 i saw broadway across canada do Aladdin and jafars quickchanges were amazing!!
My school did Wizard of Oz last year and Dorothy's dress was reversible. One side was black and white, and the other one was blue. She had to change in her house, with barely any room. But there was also a tornado so the house was spinning. Still not sure how she pulled that off.
Yesssss Cinderella has amazing quick changes
I didn’t realise how many quick changes legally blonde had!
I love these
I’m a simple girl, I see beetlejuice in the thumbnail, I click.
2:19 this was my local theatre. I was in a production of the little mermaid a month before this production with a different company in the same theatre. It was a whole scandal in our local community. Cause their production was better than ours even though we acquired the rights first. Ariel is played by Maura Doyle. Idk who triton is.
"iM a CrEePy OlD gUy!"
Also love the double costume change in Eddie’s song in Sister Act.
