- As always if you need help with a costume. See me , FB message me, or email me at amatocostuming@gmail.com
- All cast: The costumes have to be in tune with the period. We are shooting for 1933 give or take a few years. Start researching for images of hairstyles of the era. There will be no wigs as of this time. You will be doing your own hair. Start practicing. Guys too.

- Guys** only**: Your audition costumes will also be your Getting Out of Town costumes and your 42nd Steet costumes. I have jackets for all of you and some of you will also have a hat.
- Guys: I have some sweater vests, Ties. You need a dress shirt (no neon super bright colors), dress or khaki plain, pants (no cargo, skinny jeans, logos) Colors for pants grey, tan, navy, black, dark green.
- Girls: Button up shirts only. Plain, check, small prints. No t shirts. Shorts resembling the pic. No leggings, yoga pants, tights, or neon colors, booty shorts. Spandex/dance shorts ONLY IF YOU HAVE A WRAP SKIRT. Plain or small print skater skirts are perfect.

(see pic) Lot of quick changes and you will all need them for "We're in the Money". The costumes are skimpy and sheer. For those in "Dames" its a very quick change and will need them too.
Peggy- Annie & Chorus Girls: I have ordered skirts for your rehearsal/audition scenes. You will be self costuming a button up blouse to match. See above pic & notes to ensemble about shirts.
Helen - Blue Kalli- Wine/burgundy Abbey- yellow Renee- Black Laura- Dark Green Anna- Red

Ladies of the cast:
Question have been asked as to do I need a biketard/unitard?
If you are in either "DAMES" or "WE'RE IN THE MONEY" You will definately need one. Boy cut is the needed style as they cover better and look like shorts under the short dance skirt in "Money".
The ensemble dance skirts in "Money" are short and sheer.
Featured dancers for "Money your skirts are short.
For "Dames" the scene where the girls are getting ready before entering in gowns, you all need the biketard. You are wearing the biketard and a short robe. (Robe as of right now. Could be changed) There is a very quick change to get into your gowns off stage. No time to go to dressing rooms to change.
Here are a couple of places I found online. I have not ordered from these companies. They are only suggestions. Google is a great resource. For more suggestions please ask Meg King as she may have ideas.
- Zac B: You will need and audition/rehearsal outfit, which will also be used for Getting Out of Town. For Dames you need black pants and a white shirt. For Money you need white a shirt, For 42nd street you need brown pants. The appropriate shoes and dark socks for each number.
- Ladies: If you are in Getting Out of Town, Shuffle Off to Buffalo or 42nd Street. Your costumes are all the same for these numbers.
- Jack H. (crook) , Nick G.(Thug) & Tim E (Thug) : I have a coat and hat for each of you. You will just wear your rehearsal clothes under the coats.
