Musical & Dance Theater
Dress up as a musical star now
Musical and movies with dance interludes have a long tradition and have their origin in the world of Hollywood black and white movies. Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire and Rita Haywoth were among the first actors to conquer the stage and screen singing and dancing. Musical costumes made their glamorous appearance in legendary shows in Las Vegas, as well as on Broadway in New York. From elegant top hats and walking sticks to sequined frock coats and bathing suits, glittering wardrobes and feathers were used, whatever the budget allowed.
Musical costumes were then as now an important part of the stage outfit and has changed over time only in style. While musical costumes in the 20s were still very elegant, partly based on evening dress, they became more frivolous and cheeky over time, and later more colorful and freaky.
Musical costumes in the Burlesque Area
The frivolous time of cabaret and revue theaters brought musical costumes of a special kind to the boards that mean the world. Burlesque Fan with Black Feathers XXL Sequins and gauzy stage outfits showed more than they were able to hide. Musical and revue stars such as Josefine Baker, Folies Bergere and Betty Page replaced the old musical stars and caused a scandal and furor with implied striptease. Shady characters like Al Capone and Buggy's Melon were welcome guests in the cabaret theaters and provided additional revenue in the revue palaces with gambling. Dress up in a burlesque costume as a revue dancer or as a flapper girl in a Charleston costume and create a buzz on the dance floor. Dressed up as a gangster, with Black Al Capone Hat and Mafia Machine Gun as costume accessories, you'll fit perfectly into the era of the first musicals. Successors of the classic musicals like "42nd Street", "Moulin Rouge" and "Burlesque" still provide glamorous 20s memories of tap dancing, glitter cylinders and black and white spats.
Musical costumes in the 70s
Saturday Night Fever with John Travolta, provided the beginning of a new generation of musical costumes. The white, chic suit is still the trademark of the musical "Saturday Night Fever" which has remained a classic to this day due to the music of the Bee Gees and many stars of the 70s. A short time later, the musical "Grease" with Olivia Newton John and John Travolta, brought the world of the 50s and rock'n roll into the cinemas. The musical costumes in the movie consisted mostly of petticoats, leather jackets and 50's dresses with polka dot patterns. Celebrate a crazy Grease theme party now and dress up in a typical 50's outfit as a rock'n roll girl and guy in a rockabilly costume.
Musical costumes from then to now
Musical costumes have been reinvented again and again depending on the era and can't really be pinned down to one cliché. In the 80s, "Flashdance" was all the rage, which later continued with High School Musical, Mamma Mia and Glee. No matter if you put on a crazy ABBA costume, the tracksuit of the gym teacher from Glee or a crazy hippie from "Jesus Christ Superstar", a musical costume is always a good choice for carnival and theme parties. With us you will find a wide selection of costumes and costume accessories to celebrate your own success as a musical star.
