Who doesn’t enjoy seeing kids dressed up in period costumes? Lucky for you Gabriella Pizzolo, Oscar Williams, and Zell Morrow, the very talented kids in the Fun Home cast, dressed in their favorite 1700s wear, portraying Eliza, Hamilton, and King George.  

Who wore it best? …Obviously @sashahutchings, but I tried. #Halloween #Hamilton A photo posted by Darius Wright (@dariusawright) on Oct 30, 2015 at 7:13am PDT

  This really is the year of Hamilton and we’re not mad about it! Darius Wright from the cast of Matilda, dawned some curls and lipstick, and transformed effortlessly into Sasha Hutchings, currently in the ensemble of Hamilton. He did that!

It wouldn’t be Hamilween without someone portraying Leslie Odom Jr.’s, Aaron Burr. “Jeopardy!” phenomenon and Hamilton fan, Matt Jackson, nailed it and even added his personal flair scribing the “Ten Duel Commandments” in stone.

Nothing can top the admiration that beams from a daughter that wants nothing more than to be like her mom. Genesis, the beautiful daughter of Queen Viola Davis, takes the cake for best Broadway inspired costume of 2015. Who doesn’t want to be like Tony and Emmy award-winner Viola Davis. WHO!?!   

And we are telling you… Happy Halloween! A photo posted by BroadwayBlack (@broadwayblack) on Oct 31, 2015 at 8:37am PDT

This one really just brings a big smile to your face. It’s so well done and spot on. Her pose & smile really syncs up well to the inspiration. We know Jennifer Hudson rocked the role and won an Oscar but this young girl deserves an award for her heart. We love it!

The ones that made us laugh the most included was Nick Rashad Burroughs, who will have his 54 Below debut alongside Marisha Wallace soon. He continued the Halloween celebration at Matthew Morrison’s party in a leotard. He was Aunt Viv from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in the infamous audition episode. This one took us down!

Another good hearty chuckle came from Amber Iman, who went to her celebration as “The Bella Noches Girl”. I mean, If you can’t go to Bella Noches, where can you GO?!? This one was spot on and we are still in tears over it.

All in all, Halloween was great this year! Can’t wait to see what the Broadway Black community cooks up next year!

The post The Best of Broadway Black Halloween 2015 appeared first on Broadway Black.

Dorothy, The Wiz

Are you looking for a classic costume that’s easily identified and even easier to put together? Look no further than “Dorothy”! All you need is a light blue gingham dress with a silk ribbon at the waist, or a white blouse and light blue skirt, white tights or lacy socks and of course you MUST rock the sparkly shoes. To finish the look, style your hair into two ponytails and you are ready to travel the yellow brick road!

Rafiki, The Lion King

Are you the creative type with time on your hands? Well consider “Rafiki” from The Lion King. This character is full of color and the costume opens up a world of possibilities for the open minded costumer. Face paint in bright colors and an assembly of colorfully beaded necklaces and bracelets, rattan rope, burlap and fur embellishments should get you well on your way to bringing this dynamic character to life.

Hedwig, Hedwig and The Angry Inch

If fabulous is your destination and you’ve got the confidence of a rockstar, then what better inspiration than rocker “Hedwig”? Platform shoes, BIG blonde hair, distressed denim with your own graffiti are necessary to pull of this costume. The essential ingredient is a ton of super glittery and flamboyant makeup and voila! You are ready to rock any Halloween party.

Marvin Gaye, Motown The Musical

Let everyone know exactly “What’s Going On” when you arrive at the Halloween party. Channeling the soulfulness of “Marvin Gaye” is a breeze with just a few simple items. A red toboggan or a simple crocheted kufi,  a plainly colored tee shirt layered with a denim shirt and denim jeans should do the trick. Top it off with a beard and you will be ready to croon or maybe lip sync the night away.

Dreamgirls

There’s only one thing that more fun than dressing up for Halloween and that’s pulling off an ensemble set of costumes. A perfect play for the ensemble outfit for you and few of your diva friends, the fellas or a mixed group of Halloween revelers. Ladies, whip out those once used bridesmaid dresses from the back of your closets and fellas hit your local thrift store for wide collars, swinging bell bottoms or an extra shiny and tight suit. Ladies, tease your hair into a sleek updo or a big bouffant and gentlemen pick out your hair or make a quick stop at the beauty supply for a short conked out wig and your ensemble is ready to go.

Motormouth Maybelle, Hairspray

Are you looking to make an impact as soon as you step on the scene? If so, “Motormouth Maybelle” is the character for you. The easiest way to pull off this costume is to start with a gold or satin dress. Purchase a couple of red feather boa’s and attach them to the hem and sleeves. Finish off this sassy look with a blonde wig with curls as tall and plentiful as you can make them and you are ready to liven up any party.

We hope you enjoy these costumes inspired by our Black Broadway stars. Tweet us a picture of what you decided to wear @broadwayblack!
