Disney Live! presents Three Classic Fairy Tales marks Tony Award® winning costume designer Gregg Barnes' second foray with Feld Entertainment; his talents were first showcased in Disney On Ice presents Princess Classics. In 2006 Barnes won the Tony Award® for Best Costume Design for his work in The Drowsy Chaperone. He was also nominated for the Tony Award® in 2007 for Legally Blonde, and in 2003 for Flower Drum Song. Barnes also won the 2006 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Costume Design for the Drowsy Chaperone.
When designing costumes for the time-honored princess stories featured in Disney Live! presents Three Classic Fairy Tales, Barnes was faced with the special design challenge of creating flow in the costumes, while also taking into consideration each story and the specific movement of the actors.
"In the Cinderella story there is the grand waltz, and the dresses have to move and spin to behave a certain way to underscore the energy of the music," says Barnes. "In the Snow White story they sing the silly song which is very up-tempo and therefore the costumes are geared toward a bouncier and more frenetic movement."
