Teddy Bears

Item Description

Joe and Frank
A STEADY RAIN
2009

Direct from Broadway, via the Chicago Police Department, we have Joey and Denny. Joey is dressed in a grey single breasted suit jacket with a grey lining. The matching suit pants have pleats and cuffs and are held in place by burgundy suspenders and a cordovan leather belt. replicating the look of Daniel Craig in his Broadway debut. One of the bear’s many exacting details are a hand painted red silk tie adorned with a gold tie bar. His white shirt, made of the finest cotton with subtle grey and taupe stripes and a breast pocket, holds his handmade plastic pocket protector, two pens and a mini paperclip. He even comes complete with a rectangular silver watch with black crocodile watchband. Hidden details include a scaled down detective shield and a tiny silver cross around his neck. His feet are shod in handsome oxblood leather oxfords over grey patterned socks.

Like Joey, Denny is dressed in an equally detailed yet far more casual way, as befits his character. A blue plaid, cotton button-down shirt and greyish-taupe cotton twill pants, held up with a brown leather belt, make up his basic ensemble. His replica of a navy blue, stripped down “Member’s Only” jacket matches the one designed for Hugh Jackman for the show, as do his handmade brown leather chukka boots and dark blue patterned socks. Some of the more distinctive parts of our Denny bear are his hidden mermaid tattoo, which was hand painted on Hugh’s arm nightly, and a mini version of his “Golden Bears” NFL ring, gold wedding ring, watch and gold chain with crucifix.

Both Denny and Joey have been finished off with hand-tied, human hair wigs with Joey also sporting his signature moustache. Lastly the bears are not “bare” bottomed, as under each of their costumes are a complete set of underclothes. Joey sports a pair of Calvin Klein grey knit boxer briefs and Denny chooses simple grey Calvin Klein briefs. Each comes with their miniature white cotton tank top undershirt and, as Daniel and Hugh did after every performance during our Gypsy of the Year fundraising competition, both of these fine actors have signed each T-shirt, as well as the leg of their individual bears.
