Electra/Gallery

This is the gallery for the character of Electra. She is a minor ensemble character, not included in smaller productions. Sometimes Electra is used as a Swing; either as an official named swing character, or the costume is used as an un-named character when swings need to make an appearance or if a female swing needs to cover a male character.
