On Broadway it was an obviously fake cow (can be either a cut out or sculpted) on wheels that Jack pulls along with him.

I believe Jack has to take her to market. JEan Becky Rautine wrote: > I know that Simplicity has one that is very easy to make and might be cheaper than renting at most places. I'd be willing to help make it if you get the material or send me the money to get it here. Let me know if you'd consider that option. we can discuss it. > We did Into the Woods several years ago....and I don't remember a cow. But then I was backstage doing makeup and didn't see it all either. My daughter was only a month old then. They used her for the baker's baby in the last scene. She played a boy and loved the singing. They used a crying track since she wouldn't cry when they sang to her. It shocked the whole audience when the princess turned her around and she moved. It was a great effect. I was so proud. My older daughter, age 16, was the voice of the Giant's wife. > The first time the idea of using her as the baby happened the night before the show opened. The girl playing the princess handed the boy who was the baker my baby. He froze. He kept saying his lines but he didn't move. We stopped the practice. He'd never held a baby so we practiced. He got good at it. In the second night of the show, Elizabeth did fuss and the princess came over and too her from the baker. He looked so hurt and the audience loved it. I love doing plays, costumes, props, makeup and sets. Let me know if I can help out. > > > Sincerely, > Rebecca Rautine > > ---------------------------------------- > >> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2008 09:03:27 -0400 >> Subject: [h-cost] Cow costume for Into the Woods >> >> My mother-in-law teaches in Chicago and is doing Into the Woods and >> is looking for a cow costume, does anyone have any leads on where >> she can rent one? >> Thanks, >> >> Meredith Moseley-Bennett >> Certification Coordinator >> Entertainment Technician Certification Program-ETCP >> 875 Sixth Avenue, Suite 1005 >> NYC, NY 10001 >> Phone: 212.244.1505 >> Fax: 212.244.1502 >> >> >> >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> Sent: Sunday, September 21, 2008 2:00 PM >> To: h-costume@mail.indra.com >> Subject: h-costume Digest, Vol 7, Issue 342 >> >> Send h-costume mailing list submissions to >> h-costume@mail.indra.com >> >> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit >> http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume >> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> >> You can reach the person managing the list at >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> >> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific >> than "Re: Contents of h-costume digest..." >> >> >> Today's Topics: >> >> 1. corsets (JAMES OGILVIE) >> 2.
