So when you need to put together a show and are with a historical costume expert and a troupe of designers where do you go? Well to Broadway of course!
Disclaimer regarding service: I was there with someone Broadway knows quite well so we didn’t have any problems with service so I cannot speak for any other experience.
The rentals they have are incredibly accurate, complete and well put together. We had a show to showcase fashion and each segment started with a trip to the ‘past’. 5 historical rentals later and arm fulls of accessories for our models that we purchased we were on our way.
We were like kids in a candy store and I could have EASILY spent $ 500 or more on ‘stuff’. I did get me the coolest tricorner, a top hat, and a walking stick that over time keep on getting used over and over.

This place has a good selection of high quality costumes at a fair price, but I will say I had a very uncomfortable customer service experience today. I am an industry professional and had expected more respectful treatment. Alas. The attitude I got from the woman helping me left me wanting to talk with the management, but I got a sense that she’s not the only one who let’s her customers know they annoy her. If you deal with Broadway, you must be very clear with your order, or else deal at your own peril.

Love, love, love this place. I ended up at Broadway Costumes in search of a stellar Halloween costume. Did I get it? You bet! Despite being there the week before Halloween, the staff was extremely helpful. I gave them an idea of what I was looking for and they made great suggestions. I tried on a few costumes before leaving with a full length chicken costume complete with orange shoe covers. While $ 50 might seem like a lot to some, when you consider that you’d easily pay a couple hundred dollars to buy the costume (and only to wear it once), it’s not a bad deal.
