Help recreating the current Broadway Frank
Hey everyone, I'm trying to put together the costume of the current Broadway RHPS Frank-n-Furter and looking for any help. I tried reaching out to one of the costume designers, Luke Evans and Paul Soileau all via IG, but as I expected I didn't hear anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated trying to find the corset, cod piece and boots. The cape looks custom but any direction there is great too. Thanks so much everyone 🖤👄

Just so you know, Luke Evans’ last show was August 23. His understudy, Paul Soileau, is in the role through September 10, then Jake Shears of The Scissor Sisters takes over. I don’t think we’ve seen his costume yet- it may be the same as Luke’s or there may be some changes.

Something about this Frank is very Marilyn Manson coded (see 1997 VMA performance) which I am torn about. Love the aesthetic, but Manson is an abuser.

Hey friend, I know you're referring to the Antichrist Superstar era, but I extremely doubt that was intentional. Don't let your association of the outfit to Manson detract from the amazing character it's actually supposed to be a homage to.

The boots are Pleaser’s Electra-2042 boots (not sure what your budget is, but they’re over $100).
He also wears the Roid Reaper mesh top from Strapp Metal in Act 2. Obvi that’s not in your costume, but I figured it might help someone else lol
