Is Mike wearing a Woody costume?

[sarrao1]

@GPischke Yes it is a Woody costume. They wanted to do something "inner city-ish" with lots of bling (chains around the neck, etc.) but then the show was only a few weeks away. This is what "Mike's" mom came up with. She painted the vest and all.

I want to find a suit like the one violet blew up in. Where did you get from?

[sarrao1]

@Girard1020 Chaffey High in Ontario, California.

not bad, a pretty creative way to do violet's scene, seems like there was a little trouble with the inflating, not many plays actually roll violet, that was a nice feature, also making her fully round like a blueberry was nice. how was the costume constructed? what materials used? what type of valve was used to keep the air from leaking out?

[sarrao1]

@timebaby3 The suit was rented from Chaffey High School in Ontario, CA. They would have the answers to your questions.

I'm gonna be Phineous Trout in less than a week. :3

I can't wait!

I wasn't big on the Phyllis Trout. (We had a female Phineous as well, we changed her to Phyllis, I have no idea what you go with.) Announcers need to have deep, powerful voices and I could never stand to hear this girl on the radio. There are plenty of other girls who probably could have done better.

Her acting was fine, but that role seems like a miscast.

haha im gonna play phineous trout and my production is in may.

One or two pointers, i lke chew it but violet needs not only to consentrate on her singing but everyone needs to react to the words she's singing. Also wonka had a very nice voice. The fact you blew violet up was nice but the transitions were lacking. I see it all on tv was okay. The dancing loked a bit awkward. I don't like the idea of orphans in the background. The acting was 5 out of 10 only five because at least you remembered you lines. The thing is that not to only act your lines but react

I got callbacks for the parts Mike Teavee, Veruca Salt, and Charlie Buckett
