Costume design is often one of the most overlooked storytelling tools in theatre. Great costumes do far more than dress actors; they reveal character, social status, emotional journeys, and the world the production inhabits.

Some seasons produce a crowded revival race. This year feels different. One production entered the conversation early, tightened its grip, then proceeded to remind audiences exactly why certain American classics survive every attempt to modernize, dilute, or outgrow them.
