Wicked: Susan Hilferty
Every costume is 'haute couture', making sure all of the costumes fit perfectly to that performers body, which ensures the whole show looks more put together and expensive.
"Our costumes can cost up to $40,000!" (Drummond,K.2018.pg,236)
"The design of her dress is layers that are built with over 40 yards of fabric that are stitched together " (Hetrick,A.2018)
This amount of fabric would cost alot of money, even if bulk bought
"It reached the $1 billion milestone on Broadway faster than any other show in history, according to Variety." (Drummond,K.2018.pg,1)
"Wicked merchandise....at one point generated at least $300,000 per week- more than most Broadway plays" (Drummond,K.2018.pg,2)
" Only 'The Phantom of the opera' and 'The lion king', both much older musicals, exceeded these performance figures." (Drummond,K.2018.pg,2)
Overall production budget $16.9 million (Lorena,2014)
Hamilton: Paul Tazewell
Due to budget limitations Tazewell had "to decide what the ensemble would wear that
could work for the entirety of the show" (Beuriot,J.2017-2018.pg.52)
The Assemble wore parchment coloured clothes, that could have added elements when needed, ensuring bulk buying could be done, thus keeping in the budget.
Overall production budget $12.5 million (Passy,C.2019)
Although expensive, it looks the best "What I love is that we really use the most incredible fabrics, these are all silk." - 1.04 (ABC&Newsbayarea.2019)

"Nowhere is that equation more clear than on Broadway, where mounting a musical costs millions of dollars" (Cappaccio,N.2019)
