Dredging this thread up because I went back to see Wicked again yesterday...we have an exchange student here with us and we figured that we'd treat her.

And my eyes were not deceiving me...there was a kilted young man in the early segment of the show that deals with Glinda and Elphaba's time at school...the character showd up in the "Dancing Through Life" number as well.

Now kilted is a relative term here...not tartan but sort of a witch's guards sort of look...vaguely cossack-like but certainly a belted kilt-type garment.

We noticed that the costuming has changed here and there since the first time we saw the show...either the designers are enjoying the luxury of haveing a successful show to experiment in or the wear and tear on the costumes have made it necessary to cut and paste bits and pieces together to create new costumes as the chorus members come and go...interesting.
