Old Deuteronomy/Gallery Young Deut

This is the gallery for the character of Old Deuteronomy in his ensemble costume, sometimes known as "Young Deut" or "Basic Deut". He only appears in this "basic" costume for the opening numbers.

Whether this ensemble identity is meant to be a young version of Old Deuteronomy or an entirely separate character depends on the production. In the Broadway revival for example, the character was given the name "Victor" and seemed to be unrelated to Old Deuteronomy.

Designs
Design originally for a basic Bustopher Jones, used for Deut. Both roles originally played by Brian Blessed.
