Just a word about our costumes for your show ...
They will look terrific in your show. Most are one-of-a-kind creations from the talented designers and crew who create them for our shows.
However, while these are one-of-a-kind styles, they are also in most cases literally one-of-a-kind. Since they are all built for our own shows, we do not have multiple sets and sizes of the costumes. We have the number of pieces that were used in our show. This means that for featured characters, there is only one of each costume. Chorus costumes range from three or four to 10 or 12 pieces in any one style.
The costumes are also built to fit our performers, who in most cases are not large sizes. Most things for women are in the 8-12 size range; for men, in small to medium. We do have some larger things, but these are mainly for the character roles. There is a little room for alteration built into most pieces, but we cannot make a size 10 fit a size 20. We can do minor alterations to fit your people, but we do not do construction and/or extensive alterations.
We do have many options to work with you to put a stunning show on your stage.
What we can do for you depends a great deal on the show and your casting. Since we have done many shows more than one time, and since we have such a large stock, there are often choices for some costumes.
We have made many people joyously satisfied with how their show looked! Man of La Mancha, Camelot, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Kiss Me Kate, La Cage Aux Folles, to name just a few.
We will rent from a minumum of five (5) costumes to an entire show, and will also rent many individual specialty pieces. Many places have augmented their own stock with our things. Joseph's coat for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, the chorus girls adorable dance outfits for Crazy For You, kilts and a colonial suit for Brigadoon, tuxedos for Titanic are some of the most recent.
We will do our very best to make your production look superb!
Let's talk about it and see what we can do for you. You'll get individual service, and if we can't come up with everything on your list, we'll help you with suggestions on how and where you can find what you need.
