Huzzah! Worth staying up late to find out @V_and_A’s won a GLAMi (design category) for Explore the Collections. Immensely proud of the work of the digital team 🎺 🎉🍾 #MW21 @museweb

Seeing @idinamenzel defy gravity when Wicked opened in London was wonderful. Dig into the costumes, their design and their story: https://t.co/U3jPnCFgbw

Finally the Wicked Witch of the West was given a back story, a heart and most importantly a name, Elphaba. Gregory Maguire's book series 'The Wicked Years' was adapted into the blockbuster musical, Wicked, with @idinamenzel originating the Elphaba role on Broadway and London.

The last one in this thread (probably) is indulging my musical theatre geekiness with a Fred Astaire tailcoat and trousers: https://t.co/BtUSjcHvNP Watching him and Ginger Rogers is my comfort food (mind you so is chocolate)

In honour of new @v_and_a object pages going live yesterday here are a couple of the best objects (according to my entirely arbitrary preferences) that I've found while working on the collection. A thread...

"Tippoo's Tiger" became very familiar because we used it for examples so often when we were developing Explore the Collections: https://t.co/D6fYuyFLdq

Elphaba's hat from the West End transfer of Wicked with Idina Menzel (that I went to see in Dec 2006) remains one of my favourite things in @V_and_A collection: https://t.co/GGrmtsD7bR

@sacha_coward Any of them happen to have prepared water breathing? Or Druids who can wildshape into a sea creature / can find one to befriend. Otherwise deals with sea hags or Marids have helped my party in the past.
