What Happens To Old Broadway Costumes

- Have you ever wondered what happens to all of the elaborate Broadway costumes once a show is over? Some of them actually end up in Astoria, Queens where they are collected and rented out to other performances to give them a second life. We spoke with the director of the TDF Costume Collection, Stephen Cabral, to find out how it all works and take a peek at some of the Theatre Development Fund's famous pieces.

“Broadway shows don’t last forever.”
Tell that to Phantom of the Opera
Christmas Tree May the reign of the Phantom never end
Wicked 😂
Maria Gomes Yaas Wicked
Casual Pickles oml I see you everywhere, I’m already subbed xd
HAHAHHAHAHAHA
How can you say you have clothes worn by Patti LuPone and immediately follow up by saying there aren't any clothes worn by celebrities??
He said "celebrities LIKE Cher or Barbara Streisend" They basically mean mainstream celebs
Agree with Erin. Also, it's quite possible they don't rent out those high-profile items to just anybody. They might keep those items in an exclusive collection, so as far the general public is concerned, those items don't exist. I actually thought of this when he mentioned the bag sale. I somehow doubt that they would let people buy such high-profile items during a bag sale. So most likely, those high-profile items are off-limits to the general public.
Ik 😂
Ikr
Really though!
I need something like a Hard Rock Café just that it’s decorated with musical theatre stuff and there‘re showtunes playing in the background!!! 😍😍😍
Kathy Firli Agreed!!
Kathy Firli theatre cafe in London is pretty nice!!
Yassss
When Hamilton costumes will be there I’ll have a reason to finally get out of the sofa and buy flight tickets-
I’ll fight you for Eliza Schuyler‘s dress lol
I will personally pay you for lafayette's and johns costume
If this is open to the public I would so make a whole day out of this! I would get a kick out of just looking at old broadway costumes
I would love to play dress up in there :)
The Little Protagonist same! I’d have so much fun. I wanna put on the mamma Mia costumes and sing dancing queen and also put on the Mimi from rent costume and scream the words to out tonight😂😂😂
Casual Pickles at least I’m nit crazy and someone agrees with me😂
placeboskies don’t be worried!!! Just have fun! Wow I’m saying this about a room none of us will be able to visit😂😂😂
placeboskies me too I will probably trip and rip it if I wear any of the dresses 😂
The Little Protagonist honestly same
0:10 he's there, the phantom of the opera!
Inside my mind
WICKEDDD
I’m going to that bag sale and grabbing everything from Les Mis
I may honestly end up timing an eventual trip to New York around it. I cosplay, do musical theatre and am considering joining the historical clothing community.

So heathers costumes are there?
*starts booking flight*
Heathers isn't on broadway
Lyra Che (they said various theatrical productions)
Lyra Che yeah... It closed in 2014
SAME GIRL
Heathers was off-broadway not broadway lmao
Omg I love the mention of Urinetown! I never hear it talked about at all!
Lol same
One of my favorite musicals it’s one of those ‘ don’t judge it by the title ‘
I want that Wicked dress!!!!!!!
Quinn Le don’t we all
How fun would it be to spend a week snooping around there?! So awesome!
Sy W oh god yaaas.
I bet those can sell well on eBay 😂
My theatre company got to rent a full show of costumes for my senior show. Also I need to know when this bag sale is happening... can I fit a Ballgown in a bag? lol
I wanna just wear the dresses they look so fun
Great job, Chris! Glad the costumes get to live on/are saved! Hope to visit the TDF Costume Collection one day.
Anything from the great comet of 1812? Something rotten? Amelie?
“Broadway shows don’t last forever”
*phantom lurking in the shadows*
Now that’s where you’re wrong
He says big celebs don't donate :Shows off a outfit worn by Patti LuPone.
I've read that there's a dress that was used in Cinderella and Gone With the Wind that was first used in a silent biopic about Queen Christina of Denmark in the 20s, and was used all the way up through the 80s. Beautiful ball gowns are that valuable.
A bag sale would be fun to go to. I wonder when and if they ever post that information.
TDF GIVE ME LINS JACKET!!!
In conclusion Broadway costumes can be sold on eBay
Am I the only one who wants to go there and just screw around all day playing dress up with a bunch of equally stupid friends?
Cali Lovett honestly that sounds awesome
Alright, alright, shall we rent a tour bus? 😂😂😂😂 Hehe
@sarah ah, me too. 😁 I live in Europe! The struggles of far away Broadway fans!
Then you get it 😭❤️
Sarah Hamilfan want to fly together? Go Dutchies
The ultimate wardrobe 😂
Yeah its definitely like we just wondered outta nowhere what happens to old Broadway costumes
Houssa. slays Queen
I actually have..
As a performer, I do wonder what happens since you almost never see a room full of all old costumes at playhouses. Even if they do keep the costumes, they only keep the good one they know for sure will be used again
I knew this, only because I've been in productions that rented costumes from them, before. It's a really cool feeling to know you're wearing something that once graced the Broadway stage. (Maybe someday I'll actually wear a costume ON a Broadway stage, too lol).
I do wonder what they do to the constumes, as well as the sceneries, after a show's run is finished
lol you must have never met a theatre kid
Houssa. slays Queen I DO
Omg yes to everything!😱😍😭🎶 if I could only afford a lot of the costume pieces
Ive always wondered about that. In my high school shows our costumes were mostly thrifted or from previous shows
Mine closet or our personal costume racks
"Broadway shows don't last forever"
Me: sadly *goes into a puddle of tears
Omg this is so cool 😭 I want to go there and try them on haha
My drama group has ex royal opera house costumes, but it's nothing like their collection
Any phantom fans ?
Okay does this mean I could finally wear the Elphaba Act II dress??? That would be a dream come true
I wonder if there are any heathers costumes in there...
This is so much better than I thought it would be
*GIVE ME ALL THE LEGALLY BLONDE COUSTUMES!*
Ok these are so awesome and I would honestly work there and love it so much.
Can I please go there I need to go there
Awesome idea!😀👍
OH MY GOD IS THERE NEWSIES COSTUMES?!
watch me walk in there and steal crutchie's crutch
My highschool used this for Les Mis, we used the back wall! I was young Cosette
I got to use costumes from the tdf warehouse for an opera I was in and it was AMAZING!!! 💗
Not me knowing what show the costumes at 2:50 came from. 1776 is sooo underrated and the costuming is ICONIC
Informative. 👍
Jhoooooooooope
Sorry I shouldn’t do that nvm
When are those "bag days" cause i want to come in and actually take stuff home.Let me know
Okay but it would be funny if they had the costumes from Book of Mormon or even pieces from Be More Chill (however I know a lot of the original pieces were auctioned off before the off Broadway performance started)
I wonder if they have any of the costumes from Spring Awakening because if they do I would want to go just to try on one of those school boy costumes or maybe Wendla’s blue dress
That white dress is divine
God my little Broadway loving heart is filled with so much love after watching this video
3:41 I WANT THAT!!!!!! That’s one of the suits from the greatest showman!!!! OMFG I AM LITERALLY DIEING RIGHT NOW!!!
Going there would be my dream!!!
I WANT TO LIVE THERE THE COSTUMES AND NOSTALGIA!!!
*_Goodwill For Broadway_*
We’ve got a pair of Grizabella gloves from a Cats production done in Aus. I loved looking at them when I was a kid, but only look no touch 😅
I've actually always wondered this
"you wont necessarily find costumes worn by big celebrities"
ummMMM PATTI LUPONE AND JANE KRAKOWSKI THOUGH
Justin Y is late...
We must summon him now!
You summoned his mom
omg stop it, he's irrelevant.
YOURE RIGHT EHFAHO*EDJ HES NOT EVERYWHERE CONFIRMED
Justin Y.'s mom is your son home
Orange Froggo 😂
I've often wondered if any of my costumes made it in there...
omg I would love to be apart of that bag sale. so badass.
*_GIMME_*
Joy Kat Nora pansexuals unite
Awesome
This would be an amazing day out
Is there any Hamilton ones ?
carrot cake Hamilton is far from being done with its run
K. Bow well Wicked is still going quite strong but they have an Elphaba dress. It must have been retired or in some condition where it no longer served a purpose. I know Wicked (and I’m sure all long running shows) has a massive storage collection. Felicia Ricci mentions it in her book. That way when you replace or have international productions you have a stock to back to and not everything has to be made from scratch every time.
Potentially, but I’d think they would try to build up a back stock
I don't think so... mostly because Hamilton is really tight with their costumes and everything, and because they have several tours, so I wouldn't be surprised if some of the costumes have just gone on tour, or become backups. But since Hamilton will likely run for a loooong time, some of the costumes will eventually cycle out, and I bet this will be the case. As far as I know, Hamilton isn't even open for like smaller theatres doing productions of it, yet, so I really doubt the costumes are available, yet, either.
Lin Manuel’s costume is in Washington D.C. I think.
Correction: Halloween is not worthy of these costumes 🙅♂️
Benjamin Edwards last name twins
Ohhhh my gooooood
When is the sale? I really want to go there and buy some of the clothing. It looks impressive
that place is my absolute dream oh my god...
Stratford Festival in Ontario has a wonderful wardrobe Warehouse you can to her as well as you're interested in that kind of thing.
One of my companies gets our costumes from there, its really awesome
Are there Juan Perón's purple pajamas?
oh this is heaven
Im grabbing a couple of the bags and try to find some ladies shoes that might fit me. Broadway shoes are really made to withstand a wide variety of people and dancing. If anybody sees me trying to shove corsets and hoopskirts into a bag, Im that type of person who gets what goes on underneath the costumes since I love the foundation garments.
Woaahhh
I hope they have some Newsies costumes! 😂❤️
I would DIE to wear Patti LuPone's Gypsy costume
0:49 was that the fighting French fry, Lafayette’s costume
I don't think so..... But it would be dooopppeeee
Ok so for my birthday party I’m just inviting everyone to this place and having a major dress up party!
The dress Jane Krakowski's "Ilona" dress😱😲❤
Broadway shows don't last forever. Well phantom is still going lol . And it's my favorite show ever !
I would keep mine tbh my dream is to play Elphaba 😂
I want to go crazy in the shoe section! Why are you so far away? ;(
cool
Books flight!
What show was the white gown the woman was wearing at the end from?
I’d love a 1800’s costume any color
Rocky horror picture show?
That isn't a stage show.
They might have some from The Rocky Horror Show which is the stage musical, but from the 2001/2 Production
I would love to go to the bag sale
I want to live in there.
I peep Hamilton clothes ;)
Wow 😑 they are old indeed !!!
Wow
Now im lowkey hoping when Six ends their costumes would end up here
Where is this?! If there is Phantom Of the Opera costumes i am already on the plane
If they have have hamilton musical costumes there
*please let me know*
hi do you have a newsies hat ?
zooms over to austria
I'm wondering if is possible to find the costumes of "Natasha, Pierre and the great comet of 1912" because I dream to wear Natasha's coat and Hélenè's dress
I wondered what happened to the costumes that belong to The Eaves Costume Company.
well... ok
Those costumes looks hella scary tho
I want to put on those beautiful gowns and dance around in them.
Reminds me of Triple HHH.
