Gene Simmons Halloween Costumes

Halloween is coming; if you've got kids then you've probably received some suggestions on what they want to be this year. For boys the odds are on Batman, possibly The Joker, or even The Incredible Hulk, choose from any superhero you want. For the girls it's a princess or Tinkerbell or even a 50's sock hop girl. Now that we've got the kids taken care of, how about the adults? If you don't have any kids then you can plan to dress up and attend a Halloween party where you just might be remembered for your great costume.

Some of the best Halloween costumes are of people you know, everybody knows who Marilyn Monroe is, and it takes a leggy blonde with full lips to pull off that costume. You could dress up like a Star Wars character or even a nun. Most uniforms become costumes on Halloween, but what would it be like to dress as a member of KISS. You've got four to choose from, The Demon, The Starchild, The Spaceman and The Catman.

A lot of guys want to go for The Demon, but the guy with the longest tongue usually wins that bet. No matter, there are still three characters to choose from. If you plan to dress up this Halloween as a KISS character you'll need to find a place that has the make-up kit. If you know of a face painter you can always go that route. It's best to start looking in the summertime for somebody like that; you can save yourself some hassle if you have somebody who knows what they are doing.

Dressing up like The Demon will get you noticed all night long, it doesn't matter how many Halloween parties you go to, you're sure to be complimented. If you've got four guy friends who want to complete the band then you could have a great time hanging out together as KISS. Since Gene Simmons's show "Family Jewels" has been airing on A&E he's been getting a lot more attention so dressing up like The Demon will have people pointing at you all night long.

Shop around and find a good wig that compliments your Gene Simmons costume. You'll also need a rock star girlfriend, or wife to be by your side the whole time. If you've got some leather and high boots you could really look the part. The best thing about dressing up as a member of KISS is that their outfits on stage look like Halloween costumes anyway. Have fun this Halloween and dress up like a member of KISS.

1948 Broadway Shows

1948 was a banner year for Broadway shows in New York, with some of the world's favorite plays and musicals debuting in 1948. Almost all of these popular plays and musicals were made into films at some point, which indicates just how popular they were (and still are) with Broadway audiences. Some of the most popular 1948 Broadway shows include:

Mr. Roberts

This comedy opened on Broadway in February 1948, and starred Henry Fonda as Lieutenant Roberts, the beleaguered junior grade officer on board a cargo ship during the Second World War. Roberts wants to get off the ship and do some actual fighting, but the tyrannical captain won't sign his orders and let him go. This classic comedy was made into a film also starring Fonda, as well, along with James Cagney as the belligerent captain.

Anthony and Cleopatra

This classic Shakespearean play came to Broadway as a tragic drama, and played 126 shows before it closed. Staying true to the play, the drama showed the love affair between the beautiful Egyptian queen and the Roman soldier, and included a young Charlton Heston in a minor role as a soldier. It was made into a very famous film starring the then couple Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor.

Oklahoma!

This uber-classic Rogers and Hammerstein musical is still beloved today, and it ran for over 5 years on Broadway. The love story between Curly and Laurey is at the heart of this musical, but the comedy, dancing, and acting also won it rave reviews. It was made into a motion picture in 1955 that is still a classic in musical innovation and adaptation today.

Summer and Smoke

The master playwright Tennessee Williams wrote "Summer and Smoke" about a southern minister's daughter at the turn of the 20th century. Lonely and naïve, she is courted by a boy she loved in her childhood, a doctor who is wild, unmanageable, and totally her opposite. This tragic drama was made into a film in 1961, and it played 102 performances in 1948 through 1949, and was revived several times throughout the years on Broadway.

Anne of the Thousand Days

This memorable drama tells the story of King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, his wife who he had beheaded because she failed to give him the heir he desired, and he believed was having an affair. Veteran actor Rex Harrison played Henry on the stage, and this, like many other popular 1948 Brodway shows, was made into a film in 1969.

Kiss Me Kate

This remake of a Shakespeare play (The Taming of the Shrew) into a musical debuted on Broadway on Dec. 30, 1948, making it the last show to open that year. Cole Porter wrote the music and lyrics for the show, which may be one reason it remained on Broadway for nearly three years. It is actually a play within a play that follows the production of a musical while following the producer. The musical was made into a film in 1953.

Some of the most well known and beloved of all shows were 1948 Brodway shows, and many of them still live on today, still beloved on Broadway.
