Why is the costuming so much worse than in the original run?
Is there a reason why the costuming and styling of pretty much every character in Heathers has been so much worse in every single professional adaptation of the show than it was in the original Off-Broadway run? I was thinking about the OBC styling in comparison to the West End proshot and how it feels so much less thought out and realized this is kind of the case for every single adaptation, new Off-Broadway run included. In the original, there is a personal spin on every Heather's "uniform", all of the outfits look personally tailored to each actress and the hair was very 80's, curly and voluminous. After it first came to West End it looks like cheap materials, less detailed outfits and slicked back straight hairstyles are the new norm. Not to mention everyone pretty much wears the same outfit with different coloring and the outfits all look very costumey and impersonal. Not a dealbreaker at all, and no hate to any of the new casts of course, just wondering what the deal is.
