Paul Tazewell, a former wizard himself, commanded a staff of a hundred and forty people to dream up and sew the costumes that Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, and company wore over the rainbow, Zach Helfand writes.
Tazewell is the costume designer for the new “Wicked” movie and is considered a favorite for an Oscar. He was out for a walk in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, which is around the corner from his home, and whose flora had provided inspiration for a lot of his designs—bluebells, Fibonacci spirals, ferns. “Nature seemed really appropriate,” he said.
Tazewell has spent most of his career in the theatre: “Caroline, or Change” , “The Color Purple,” “Suffs.” He did “In the Heights,” on Broadway, and became a Lin-Manuel Miranda collaborator. Miranda asked him to join “Hamilton.” “My biggest priority was to not fuck it up,” Tazewell said. Later, Steven Spielberg hired him for the “West Side Story” movie. “Tomorrow I’ll be starting the first day of a new Spielberg film,” Tazewell said. “I can’t say what it is.
