All About Musicals

Cast members from the Broadway musical Wicked will be at New York City’s FAO Schwartz toy store TODAY at 4:30 PM (Eastern Time). No, they’re not there to play around, but are there for the release of two new hand-crafted Madame Alexander Elphaba and Glinda collectible dolls.

And where there are Wicked cast members, a special performance and a doll-signing are sure to follow!

According to TheaterMania:

The 10″ dolls are adorned in dresses based on the 2004 Tony Award-winning costume designs by Susan Hilferty.

The Elphaba doll is outfitted in a traditional witch’s hat and corseted shirt with stitched details and shredded sleeves constructed out of beautiful layered burgundy and black lace. It dips down on an A-line skirt that features rows of gathered fabric made from a magical mélange of black and iridescent burgundy, blue and green organza, silvery white and black lace, and black satin. Beneath, she has black panty tights and black ankle boots.

The Glinda doll wears a two-piece, sparkly blue lamé and tulle dress with a stand-up collar. The corset features a square neckline with blue and silver sequins, and her skirt is made from layers of petals that also shine with sequins and lamé. Glisenette panty tights, a sparkling tiara, wand, and matching shoes complete her ensemble.
