Rental Costumes for The Boys From Syracuse
Please note that the style of this show is very broad comedy historic styles; regions and looks criss-cross at will. There is no attempt at realism. For example, in the earliest broadway version, if an actor wore glasses in real life, then he wore them in the show as well. Have fun!!!!
Authors: Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart & George Abbott, based on William Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors
Time Period & Setting: Ancient Greece in the city of Ephesus (in modern-day Turkey), though the libretto infuses the story with playful 1930s Broadway humor and rhythms.
Summary: The Boys from Syracuse is a 1938 musical comedy set in ancient Ephesus. The story follows two sets of identical twins separated at birth who end up in the same city, sparking a hilarious, madcap whirlwind of mistaken identities.

Durable Costumes
Durable Costumes
Our costumes are not brand-new. In fact, they've appeared in thousands of productions (much like the costumes worn on Broadway). We employ a proprietary process of building costumes that will last many years, can be altered easily to fit virtually any body type, and can be laundered without chemical/industrial procesing.
