I realize that Miss Fleming used her own gowns so that they might not match the
other costumes on stage.
But I am curious about some of the other costumes which seem odd. In the Act
One party scene there are many people in what would pass for "black tie formal"
in the 19th century but others who seem to be in day dresses and clothes. This
doesn't make any sense to me. Did they have "black tie optional" in 1850?
Also, there is one prominent and tall black woman in the chorus who is dressed
a bit like Winnie Mandela in full African gear. What is that supposed to be
about?
