Piazza's. It makes me want ot live in 1950's Italy. Fabrizio's threads are killer and Clara's dresses are gorgeous (kudos to Ms. Zuber). All the men are so dashing! I wish more Americans dressed as snazzy as the Piazza cast.

Yep. Beat me with a stick if you want to, but "Wicked"s costumes are currently the best on Broadway.
"Lion King's" are also great. "Phantom"s are a mixed bag.

I definitely have to agree with the Wicked ensemble costumes. They're works of art just in themselves.

I am so excited to see a costume thread! To be honest though there isn't a show that instantly came to mind right now. After I thought about it though I would have to agree that the Wicked ensemble is great. Lion King is undeniably one of the best costume designs to go on stage in the past decade. Those costumes are both functionally and aesthetically amazing. Hairspray is also a personal favorite. I hate to say it but Beauty and the Beast deserves a mention too. I'm interested to see what they're wearing in Lestat.
the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of thier dreams

Wicked Ensemble has some of the coolest and innovative costumes I have ever seen. Also, The new production of Sweeney Todd REALLY got creative with modernizing the costumes but still utilizing familiar aspects.

I think all the costumes in DRS are beautiful. (Even the bell boys) The dancers at the beginning always look so beautiful to me!

Piazza's are gorgeous. I would love to wear some of those outfits, it makes me want to travel back to that time period.
Hairspray & Wicked have fun costumes. Phantom's are also great too.

PIAZZA. My absolute favorite decade.
Also, just recently LA CAGE AUX FOLLES.

I agree about Wicked. Especially the ensemble costumes in the Ozdust Ballroom scene. The black and white...aaahhh LOOOVE!

Phantom's are gorgeous
Wicked has very cool costumes especially the ensemble, and Morrible
Lion King- costumes are the only reason to see this show IMO
Beauty and the Beast- They pulled it off, it could have been a disaster but teh costumes are good.
