Fatsuits in theater

Recommended Posts

Hello @all,

in addition to the two other fatsuit thread, I would like to open a new one about fatsuits in theater. We discovered that many findings ins movies and tv are already posted, but I think in theater and musicals there is very much new potential. Often there are also many "behind the scenes" pictures. Examples are Tracy Turnblad in Hairspray, Mabel Washington in Fame etc.

Especially I like the idea of imaging the (nonprofessional) actress wearing such a suit the first time, getting used to it, and that she has to step in it night after night. Then clothes over it, sometimes dancing, getting sweaty  and so on. 

Beside of photos I would love to hear your thoughts about this "actress fatsuit thing" described above.

I will start with a few examples for your pleasure. I think for example @Callie Cuttlefish and @foxer1 could be good guests over here 😉

Must be weird to walk around like this, what do you think?

But unfortunaly it is Just inflated, Not padded. There should be many Violet beauregarde costumes online, perhaps some are true Fatsuits?
