Spooky season has descended upon Broadway. Here are some Halloween costume ideas to bring out your inner theatre kid this Halloween.
Elphaba from Wicked
Elevate your tried and true witch costume this Halloween by dressing as Elphaba from Wicked. Don’t worry, green is a good look for you.
Glinda from Wicked
You’re gonna be popular with this Wicked costume choice. Glinda’s iconic pink wardrobe provides different costume options for any and all Halloween plans.
Death Becomes Her Duo: Madeline Ashton and Helen Sharp
Want a costume with glitz, glamour, and gore? Helen and Madeline from Death Becomes Her provide the perfect opportunity to mix and match those Halloween aesthetics.
Beetlejuice from Beetlejuice
The on-demand demon Beetlejuice is a great choice for those who look good in stripes and the color green. With the iconic striped suit and green hair, your costume will be a memorable addition to any party.
Lydia Deetz from Beetlejuice
For a theatre and emo crossover look, Lydia Deetz provides the perfect opportunity for you to show off both personality traits. Whether you go for her all black or red Beetlejuice look, frilly lace is a must this Halloween.
Chess Piece inspired by Chess
If Chess is a show you’re most excited for this Broadway season, you and (up to) 31 friends can dress as chess pieces. This look is a fun way to participate in a low cost, high reward group costume for those looking to embrace whimsy this Halloween season.
Betty Boop from Boop! the Musical
We could go be Boop this Halloween by drawing inspiration from Jasmine Amy Rogers’ many different looks in Boop! The Musical. This costume is best worn by someone who enjoys doing the Charleston or time steps.
Hwaboon from Maybe Happy Ending
If you’re looking for a unique costume, look no further. Hwaboon from Maybe Happy Ending, the second most iconic Broadway plant after Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors, is the perfect obscure reference to weed out the theatre-goers from the theatre-lovers.
Waiting for Godot Duo: Didi and Gogo
Are you an underground theatre kid? For a duo looking for a more covert option, Didi and Gogo from Jamie Lloyd’s Waiting for Godot revival is a great option. Throw on dark jeans, a jacket/blazer, and add a bowler hat, then you’re good to go!
