Photo inspiration! Original production and revival

So first I'll start with pics from the show just to give you the idea. Guys, you'll notice that not all of the pants are black, there's lots of brown. Embrace brown! Brown is a very 70's color! There aren't a lot of shorts, you can wear shorts. If you do they need to be 70's short but not all of the guys should be wearing them. Mix it up! Also, dance belts. Regardless of what you wear, unless you're wearing a regular pant like the Al and Paul in the line-up picture, you're gonna need a dance belt

Girls, notice the lack of skirts and shorts, it's all about the leg. You're all gorgeous, embrace you're hot legs! If you MUST wear a skirt it needs to be short. Cassie should really be the only one in a knee length, flashy skirt. She needs to stand out apart from the rest of the line. Remember it's an audition for a Broadway show, you want to show off your assets! Leotards aren't your only option. You can do dance briefs and a top. Polos, tight tees, velour tops, and tight sweaters are all good choices. Though, since we're doing the show in July/August you might want to steer away from the warmer choices.

Okay, now here are some shots from the original production.
