Yeah, there's that, which I don't recommend, or you can use this method of theirs: http://www.alleycatscratch.com/lotr/Article/Ears.htm which is MUCH better (& more difficult)

You've got to remember this is a stage show, there aren't any close ups. Therefore it really doesn't matter about ear shape, it's gonna be hard for most people to see them clearly from their seats.

I know but I thought it was cool how they on that site have so much info, even how to make decent ears.

I'm sure this musical is going to be AWESOME!

yes, I agree. That's how they made the ears in the movie, too!
I read that since the gelatin ears melt under hot lights, they had to keep making new ones for each scene!

I read that real elves' ears melt under strong lights too! Maybe that's why PJ had to use cheap imitaion actors!

Ahh merchandising ideas already! I like it. For now I am going to focus on finding a producer and getting the money raised (a musical is very cheap by Hollywood standards).

Make the costumes EXTREMELY elaborate
