Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

A new exhibition is being held in New York’s Times Square which will include items from the new Bond movie, No Time to Die.

Showstoppers! Spectacular Costumes from Stage & Screen will open August 5 at a now-closed Modell’s sporting goods storefront and run for eight weeks. Located at 234 West 42nd Street, the transformed, 20,000-square-foot exhibition space has been designed by the international exhibition firm Thinc Design as an immersive, multi-media maze featuring more than 100 of the industry’s “most beautiful and complex garments.”

“We’ve been overwhelmed with the amount of support we have received since we launched the Costume Industry Coalition in June of last year,” said Brian Blythe of John Kristiansen New York, Inc. and a founding member of the coalition. “While so many parts of the entertainment industry are announcing reopening plans, the majority of our members continue to feel the impact of being mostly dormant for more than a year. The generosity of our partners, donors and clients – who are lending us over 100 amazing costumes – will not only be a wonderful way to raise money for our Recovery Fund, but will help showcase our talented workforce of costuming experts.”

The show will also feature multiple costumes from stage shows including A Soldier’s Play, Aladdin, Chicago, Come From Away, The Cher Show, Dear Evan Hansen, Frozen, Golden Child, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, The Lion King, Moulin Rouge! The Musical, Mrs. Doubtfire, The Phantom of the Opera, Six and Wicked.
