[G] [D]
So Christine's [A] wedding dress is one of the most [D] beautiful dresses in the show.
So from the time she gets out of it to when we put her back into it the next night, a
[F#m] lot has [D] to happen to it.
This dress starts up in stage right in the quick change room.
There's a day worker in there, a dresser, who will maintain all of her clothes so that
they're ready for every performance.
When she's about to get in it during the Don [G] Juan scene, [D] her dresser will puddle it, [G] put
it in [D] a position where [G] she could get in it.
[D]
This [G] is the quickest quick change in the [A] show.
It happens in about 50 [D] seconds.
[G] So we have to have it rigged [D] where it's really quick to [G] get in and out of it.
It's just one big zipper [A] and one hook.
[D] So we want [G] it to look like it's got all this structure and shape and that it's really substantial,
but it [Em] also needs to [A] be quick [D] in and out [G] and light for her to wear because she really gets
thrown around a lot in it.

Christine [G] bows in it at the end of the show.
She goes up to her dressing room.
[A] Her dresser will take her out of the dress, and then she [G] brings it down to me down here
where I disassemble it.
[D] The dress is about five or [A] six separate pieces, and all those [G] pieces tie together so that
they can come apart for washing and get put [A] back together easily.
[Bm] I will put it in a [G] dry cleaning bag for Windsor to come pick it [D] up, the dry cleaner, and then
he will pick it up and dry clean it overnight and bring it back to us the next morning.
[G] [D]
[Em] [D]
[G] [D] The drivers drop everything off here around [G] midnight.
[Em] Most mornings [A] we start around 3 [D] a.m.
[G] The spotter will look [D] it over, [G] [D]
pretreat it for [G] stains, [E] usually the hem.
[D] With Christine's dress, it's a pretty large dress, [G] so [D] it basically [G] takes up a whole [Em] machine by itself.
[A] It will [D] get cleaned.
It will get looked at afterwards, [G] and then [D] after that and [Em] everything's okay, it will
go over [D] to a girl who will hand [G] iron the whole thing [D] out, [G]
and then [E] we'll take it over [A] after
we [D] examine it to make sure [G] everything looks great, [D] [G] and we will package [D] it.
And [G] then most [F#m] stuff [D] leaves here around noon, 1 o'clock, to go back to the theater.
[G] [D]
So most [G] wardrobe departments come in early [A] afternoon, and [D] that's about when [G] we're dropping
[D] off the stuff.
[G] [D] Well, I [G] go out into the [E] house quite often during [D] the show to check on costumes [G] that
I'm working [D] on or about to work [G] on, and I'm [D] always taken [G] by how the audience is [A] responding
to it and how [D]
beautiful it [G] looks and how [D] emotional they get, [G] and it really makes [D] me feel [G] very
proud and very happy [Am] to be part of something this [D#] big and this [A#] special.
