We specialise exclusively in full-show costume hire, ensuring complete consistency across your production. Every principal and ensemble role is carefully considered, with costumes designed to work together visually on stage.
All costumes include appropriate footwear, hats and accessories, supplied ready for performance.
A complete costume package ensures visual consistency, saves valuable preparation time, is often more cost-effective, and delivers a much stronger, more professional impact on stage than sourcing individual items from multiple suppliers.
Set in Deadwood City in 1876, Calamity Jane follows the sharpshooting tomboy Calamity as she navigates life among cowboys, townsfolk and the legendary Wild Bill Hickok.
After a mix-up involving a glamorous performer from Chicago, Calamity’s journey unfolds with humour, romance and self-discovery, culminating in one of musical theatre’s most charming transformations.
Calamity Jane – iconic buckskin-style costume evolving into more refined feminine styling
Wild Bill Hickok – classic Western gunslinger look with strong stage presence
Katie Brown – softer, more refined costumes reflecting her transformation
Danny Gilmartin – clean-cut military styling
Ensemble – a vibrant mix of cowboys, townsfolk and saloon performers including can-can style outfits
• Deadwood saloon scenes full of colour and character
