The Nubians are living a more natural life so we wanted to give them that natural look. We used a lot of earth tones and used actual fishnets for their tops.

We put sunglasses on the Egyptians to give them masks, but to keep them modern. But for the pharaoh we decided to fully mask him because he is this ominous character seen as a God by his people.

Behind each costume and makeup choice is a stylistic representation of something deeper within the musical. I hope the audience likes what we've done with it.

I used what I called my 'bible,' which was full of gathered ideas from magazines and other places. We wanted the look to be very modern and everyday, but with Egyptian designs and flare, so I researched historical Egypt and Nubia.

I decided I'd had enough. I want to have a normal life, and this is a perfect fit. I love it.

Leigh and Victoria have tremendous credentials and should have great college careers. They are both very talented and with the loss of two seniors from this year's squad, they will have the opportunity to compete for a spot in the lineup right away.
