It's that time of year again, folks!

Just wanted to hear some idea that people might have about Broadway-themed Halloween costumes?

I have a really good Elder Price costume, but am probably not going to wear it because most people won't recognize it is a character and assume I'm mocking the Mormon religion or something. Go figure.

Anyway, any other ideas? The boys from NEWSIES did a whole video about making Newsie costumes, which sounds neat.

I have several costumes modeled after the original Freddy Wittop designs for HELLO, DOLLY! This year I think I'll be wearing Dolly's "Parade" costume.

I’m just going to wear nothing but acryllic nails and cat ears. It’s my halloween costume/John Doyle CATS revival audition getup.

The Phantom is perfect, at least for a man.

I walked around the NY Halloween parade dressed as Rum Tum Tugger and people were shouting, "It's the Lion King!"

Last year a guy walked into the store I work at as Sweeney Todd from the movie and one of my coworkers said "look its Edward Scissorhands."

Since we don't really have Halloween in Australia, I thought the whole thing about dressing up was, to dress as something scary so the evil spirits passed over you?

Or I could be just talking out of my butt, I really don't know!

Great link, Lizzie

I have been as Eponine, Elphaba and Christine recently, but I have seen some VERY eleborate and exciting CATS replica costumes and of course Phantom for the men and Sweeney Todd as well.
