    DAZZLING, BRILLIANT COSTUMES FOR "GALAXIES" The brilliant designs and dazzling colour of the costumes in GALAXIES epitomise the professionalism that has gone into the entire show, which opens in the International Showrwoom, Conrad International Hotel and Jupiters Casino on August 1, 1987. Although some of the costumes will appear on stage for only a minute, the designs have been carefully researched, the colours fastidiously selected, the fabrics meticulously chosen and, in many cases, specially fabricated to produce the perfect effect. Designed by Jerry Jackson, the task of making the costumes, was split (as it was for Starz) between Bob Murphy Costumes in Melbourne and Bill Goodwin's Costume Design Centre in Sydney. Bill Goodwin, whose specialty is the way-out wonderful costumes for the space scenes, found a delicate balance in the work. "We had to cope with the size of things - creating weird and wonderful shapes that are light enough for the girls to wear," he said. "We had to make costumes that will last but look like gossamer."
