![]() ![]() The students thought they were super comfortable and easy to move in. I found these amazing gold lame jumpsuits on Amazon and at around $20 each they were a budget friendly, striking costuming solution. ![]() In Circle of Life they entered running through the audience and we used spring boards on the floor so they could vault onto the stage with cartwheels, dives and more. The Lionesses in our production were played by the gymnastics team and we needed costumes they could easily move in. ![]() The girls were obsessed with their crazy hair, faux hawks and hair extensions, they were not a crew to mess with. We went with combat boots, different patterned silver, gray and black metallic leggings, graphic t-shirts and leather jackets. We went with similar but different for this group to create a cohesive look and color palate with each girl having their own individual look. I loved casting a group of very nice girls to play Scar’s gang and their look was intentionally in contrast to his very put together more high fashion look below. They were easily manipulated by Scar and his quest for power. The Hyenas are the disenfranchised youth who are on the fringes of Pride Rock society, refusing to conform and ready to fight anyone who gets in their way. We decided on a punk/goth hybrid with the heavy makeup, colored hair extensions and graphic tees. The Hyenas were one of my favorite designs of this show. The essential question was: “if The Lion King characters lived in today’s society who would they be and what would they wear?” We humanized all the characters and spent some time working with both the cast and our 8th Grade Stage Production classes researching and pinteresting to create inspiration boards. The overall theme for our production of The Lion King, Junior was Safari Chic. Production Concept: Costumes, Hair and Makeup We scaled the sets and costumes way back and focused on the essence of the story and characters which proved to be a really smart decision and resulted in a production everyone was really proud of. Most schools do not have the time or budgets to create the level of detail and craftsmanship you would see in a Disney production. I did not want it to look like a cheesy replica of the original, which it would have if we had tried to replicate the designs. The intention for the design aesthetic for our production of The Lion King, Junior was to do a (mostly) non-masked production that looked very different than the iconic Julie Taymor designs, but still retained some of the scale and magic of the original production, but on a much more modest school budget.

Feel free to add or remove details to make this costume work for you! Here are a few links to items I used while making this costume. I curved the white lines to go with the flow of the feathers. On the back I added three feathers (one big and two smaller) with white lines across the top. That’s it! This one is also SUPER simple and came out really cute! You could add some orange socks or slippers to complete the look!Īll I did with the felt was cut wings that were closely shaped to the ones on cartoon Zazu (you can Google a photo of him for reference) and added some white swoops for details.
