I am going to a Tony Awards Party tomorrow(same one as WICKEDcool19) and we are dressing up as ANY character from Broadway...the winner gets a prize too! -Any ideas would be really helpful b/c i can't think of anything not overdone! Thanks!

A flapper outfit for Drowsy or Chicago would be SO much fun! But if you're looking for easier, eighties fro the Wedding Singer would be pretty simple to do. Eponine's also pretty easy, but likely overdone. Depends on what you're looking for.

Mrs. Lovett. Get the tophat, the black wig, and a meat pie. I totally want to do that, and get the Mrs. Lovett's apron from the show.

If I were going to a party like such, since I am a male, I would dress like Ruprect from DRS. That would be funny, and probably not overdone.

The cow from Spamalot?
Muriel from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (with bedspread and all)?
The Man in Chair from Drowsy Chaperone? :) (Good for both male and female)

Just don't go in green. That's so 2003.

The best costume. Go to Chinatown and get a red or black silk chinese jacket. A black wig. Some chopsticks. Some red chinese slippers.
Go as HARRIET HARRIS A WINNER for Millie a few years ago.
I have all that at home. Except I don't need a wig.
Ha.

Blue Striped Pajamas (Toby from Sweeney)
Red Suit & Skirt (Margaret from Piazza)
Striped Button Down and Long Khaki Skirt (Babe from TPG)

Or you could go very DIY and make some wings out of dry cleaning hangers to be very BKLYN-esque.

Tracy Turnblad/ - is that overdone?

Little Sally/Urinetown

I also like the idea of a flapper costume a la Millie or Chicago.

If you have dancer clothes, you could go as someone from A Chorus Line. Perhaps you could come up with a costume that closely resembles a character's from RENT?...Oo! What about a dorkie school uniform for Spelling Bee?
