“The costume design for the Goodspeed production, done by Joseph Shrope, is stellar in every respect. The sheer amount of changes worn by every performer is impressive and each ensemble helps to define the character with beautifully executed, period-appropriate works of art. Expect mile-high Las Vegas showgirl costumes, furs to enhance rich outfits for Mother and Irene, a rainbow of dresses for the female dancers, and so much more.”

“If you don’t “ooh” and “aah” at the elaborate Follies style costumes and head gear, courtesy of costume designer Joseph Shrope, you must be jaded. They were breathtaking to behold.”

“The story begins with Bobby (Will Burton) leaving the city after an unsuccessful audition tapping his way around a rainbow of elaborately feathered and head-dressed chorus girls - sporting pink hairdos. Costumes by Joseph Shrope add to the girls’ pop and sizzle against drab backstage curtains, as tuxedoed Bobby ends up stepping on a few toes.”

“Designer Joseph Shrope’s period costumes are eye-catching, especially those he provides for the chorus girls.”

“Thomas, by the way, gets to wear the most gorgeous costumes here, thanks to designer Joseph Shrope. Just two examples: a liquidy silver gown wrapped with a dark fur stole; and a long, luxurious white coat with red trim that is lined inside with red — and reveals a satiny red dress underneath.

The women in the ensemble also don an array of eye-popping outfits for various characters they play, from showgirls’ skimpy, glitzy costumes and elaborate headdresses to NYC sophisticates’ smart gray skirts and fashionably fitted blazers.”

“Joseph Shrope’s Costume Designs, primarily for the showgirls, are a cornucopia of bright colors and exotic creations. He keeps the color palette of the Dreadrock denizens the same vibrant shades.”
