“Project Runway” runner-up Emilio Sosa may soon have Atlantans chanting, “Please sir, I want some more.”
Sosa, who placed second among designers competing in Season 7 of the hit Lifetime reality series, took time away from a hectic work load in New York this week to put the final touches on the wardrobe for the Alliance Theatr’se much-anticipated musical, “Twist”.
“Twist”, which premieres September 1, promises a jazzy revamp of the classic Charles Dickens novel “Oliver Twist”. Instead of 18th Century London, “Twist” is set against a bustling Bourbon Street background, circa 1928.
The story remains the same: an orphan in search of affection. But Sosa was hired by director-choreographer Debbie Allen (of “Fame” fame) to re-create the characters’ overall look .
Sosa seems up to the task. He’s credited with the costume design for the dark romantic comedy “Trust”, starring Zach Braff, that’s now on an extended run off Broadway. He’s also been hired by legendary folk-rocker Paul Simon to wardrobe the cast for “Capeman” during it’s limited (Aug. 14-16) on Broadway.
