Just a few brief decades ago Broadway’s infamous Actors, Directors, Writers and Producers graced the pages of pop culture’s most respected style and fashion magazines. They were the core of the late night talk show circuit and were a mainstay on record players in living rooms across America. Greats like Gene Kelly, Ginger Rogers, David Merrick, Michael Bennett and Ethel Merman were household names
that defined the style of a generation. Even with the passing of time they remain icons of a golden age on Broadway and for many, are the undisputed definition of sophistication. The Broadway Style Guide marks a return to this paradigm. The distinct characters and personalities of the Broadway Community continue to bring a unique perspective to individual style. Their fashion choices, favorite restaurants, nightlife haunts, living spaces and overall demeanor continue to make an impact on the world around them. We aim to shine a spotlight on these movers and shakers of the theater industry outside the stage door and re-establish the glamour and nostalgia that surrounded Marge and Gower Champion as they waltzed in a sea of top hat and tails at the Rainbow Room on an opening night. It’s hard to re-create the nostalgia of the past; however, it is possible to draw inspiration from it, and create a new nostalgia that embodies the glamour of our time. We invite you to join us in the studio, behind the scenes, on the red carpet, in the streets of New York and in theaters across America (and around the world) as we uncover Broadway Style. Welcome to the Broadway Style Guide.
