The Cutting Room Floor: Paul Tazewell

If you didn’t already know, it’s Wicked season again (For Good is out on Nov 21). And we’re going deep with the costume designer who shaped its world: Paul Tazewell. Paul is the Oscar-winning visionary behind Hamilton, The Color Purple, and the film remake of West Side Story. We get into his early inspirations, his process — from research, to sketching, to collaborating with actors — and why costume designers deserve far more recognition for the worlds they help build.
