This website gives all the steps used to turn Donna Vivino into Elphaba in the production Wicked. Donna Vivino plays Elphaba in the First National tour of Wicked. Creating the look of green skin takes many steps and a lot of time. The whole process takes approximately forty minutes. I like the website because it explained each step and answered some popularly asked questions like how do they get Elphaba's skin green and how long does it take to get the green off. I think make up will play an important role in our play. Some people will have to look much older than their age and others will have to look scary and mean. All of us will have to look Chinese and the girls playing soldiers will have to look manlier. Unfortunately, I did not learn any special make up elements that we can use in our show.
