Whos and Hunches
  • The cat/dog performing tricks with a hoop
  • is made from a mouse hat from Alice in Wonderland, a circus girl dress from an unknown show and a unitard.
  • the underlying body suit of the woolf from Into the Woods is dressed up with bright shorts as the weight lifter.
  • The shorts look to “Rocky”, so they are swapped for gym shorts from Footloose, with a M for McGurkus to hide the Bomont High logo.
  • So we use gym shorts from Footloose, with an “M” for mcGurcus to hide the Bomont logo.
  • The mime has the head of the Caterpillar and the feet of the Frog-Footman from Alice plus donated furry-octopus hands.
  • She practiced jumping like a frog, and did a good mime in an invisible box routine.
  • And did a great mime-in-a-box routine.
  • The juggler wore a clown nose on the beak of the pigeon from Alice, and a pop-up hat from the magical transforming costume collection
  • He also wears the wings of the pigeon from Alice, and one of the seven pairs of caterpillar pants from the same show.
  • A lucky find of clown shoes at a thrift store.
  • And a clown tie from 99c Only store.
  • And the schtick is, he can’t catch his balls.
