We’ve got miracle plays to play.
We’ve got parts to perform, hearts to warm,
Kings and things to take by storm,
As we go along our way…

The Leading Player, the head of the troupe, is often costumed like a ringmaster or a magician. Since this is the only role in Broadway history for which both a man and a woman have won a Tony, this outfit features an unconventional feminine take on menswear.

Instead of a three-piece suit, put on a white crop top, faux leather joggers, and a longline black vest. Sometimes, the Leading Player needs structure and order, represented by these structured black heels. At other times, the Leading Player brings a sense of wildness to the stage, represented by this bold flower crown.

I’ve got to be where my spirit can run free,
Got to find my corner of the sky.

Products: Top, Overalls, Sandals, Headband, Earrings

For an outfit inspired by the titular character, wear plain, loose-fitting clothes that will allow you to move around and explore. The contrast between black and white in this outfit symbolizes the contrast between Pippin’s existential despair and lightheartedness, while the light blue of the jelly sandals and the headband represents his “corner of the sky.” Finish the look with question mark earrings, because Pippin is always searching and questioning.
