Hebrews
I created many new bright-colored pieces for this show. Each brother's costume was unique and included a tunic or shirt/pants combo, a vest or overlay, a belt or sash, and a custom headpiece. The wives were similar but replaced pants with skirts.

Egyptians
My mom and sisters helped me bedazzle these custom-designed pieces.
Pharaoh - Iconic Elvis cape - only on stage for 30 seconds but it was our masterpiece!
Joseph - Ornate gold/turquoise pieces were added on stage when he became Pharaoh's 2nd.
Court - Matching gold collars and belts; beaded headbands for the women.
