Easy Musical Theatre Costumes Easy Musical Theatre Costumes to Make
Picking out theperfectmusical theatre Halloween costume can be a super fun project. But unfortunately, not all of your favorite musical characters have ready-made costumes to match. Because of this, we have put together a list of amazing costumes that you can easily recreate! The best part? You can even wear many of these individual pieces again, even after Halloween is over. And you may even have a few of these pieces in your closet already!

1. Brad Majors from The Rocky Horror Show [Photo]
To step into Brad's shoes, you'll need some gray pants, a blue sweater vest, any kind of collared shirt, your simplest shoes, costume glasses, and a tan zip-up jacket. For extra bonus points, snag yourself a Denton High School patch that you can sew into the top corner!
2. Janet Weiss from The Rocky Horror Show [Photo]
To duplicate Janet's seemingly innocent look, your biggest priority will be to find a cute pink dress. From there, you'll just need a white button-down cardigan, white character shoes, plastic white barrettes, a white wristlet clutch, and slightly curled hair.
3. Wednesday Addams from The Addams Family[Photo]
The cool thing about going as Wednesday is that the look can be customized based on your own Halloween goals. For example, you can make this costume a bit more sexy. Or, you can go more in the direction of creepy. All you need is a braided wig, dark eye makeup, a collared black dress, and black leggings or knee-high socks.
4. Evan Hansen from Dear Evan Hansen[Photo]
If you're looking for a super simple musical theatre Halloween costume, this one is going to be your best bet! All you'll need for Evan Hansen is a striped polo shirt, khaki pants, and a phony arm cast (which you can basically DIY and cover up with this nice-looking cast cover). And to seal the deal, throw on a backpack filled with party snacks!
5. Veronica Sawyer from Heathers[Photo]
It's going to be super common to be one of the Heathers this year, which is why we're suggesting that you go as Veronica Sawyer! And to pull this off, you'll just need a blue blazer, a white button-down shirt, blue knee-high socks, and a gray pleated skirt! Bonus points if you can get your hands on a blue croquet mallet.
6. Roxie Hart fromChicago[Photo]
If you'd rather put together a sexier costume with fewer pieces, Roxie could be a great option for you! For this, you'll just need a slinky flapper dress and a short blonde wig (unless you already happen to have this type of hair)!
7. Maureen Johnson from Rent[Photo]
For this strong and sexy look, you'll just need a few key pieces – leather pants, some random bangles, dangly earrings, black boots, and a black dragon tank.
8. Enjolras from Les Misérables [Photo]
This would besucha badass costume, and you would probably be the only one at the party who chooses it! To copy Enjolras's style, you'll need to get dark pants, a loose dress shirt, and this awesome vest/sash set.
9. Zorba from Zorba[Photo]
If you want to dig deep and go for more of an obscure character, Zorba could be a fun choice! You'll just need to track down a natural linen long-sleeved shirt, dark gray suspenders, gray pants, and a slate gray cap.
10. Miss Hannigan from Annie[Photo]
Another super unique option, Miss Hannigan has a style that's fun to replicate! For this you'll just need a few long necklaces, a red feather boa, a funky orange wig, a garter belt with stockings, and a slinky beige romper.
Rather go for a ready-made costume?
Because we have you covered for that as well! So if DIY isn't your strong point, you can always go the easy route and pick up one of these!
