You don’t stop to think just how many people it takes to make up that show. And the money! Holy cow, the costumes alone are amazing, some costing $5,000!!! I just wonder what they will ultimately do with all those costumes. They must have hundreds (if not thousands) of them. If you figure 13 seasons with an average of 10 costumes per week for 12 weeks, that comes to 1,560 and that’s not counting the extras they have for the group dances, when they have two dances in one week, the troupe’s, etc. They apparently don’t ever wear them again.
What really floored me was that only two people make all the men’s costumes. That’s incredible. I wish they’d shown the hair stylists and make-up people because they all do a great job too.
