1. Prince Charming
Musical: Cinderella
If you are a bit of a romantic, this is your costume! It’s classy, it’s handsome, and all eyes will be on you at any Halloween party.

2. George Washington
Musical: Hamilton
If you’re a fan of Hamilton, it might be a fun idea to dress up as one of the Founding Fathers! And in my opinion, this George Washington costume looks very sophisticated.

3. Mary Poppins
Musical: Mary Poppins
I love how classy and dignified this costume is! It’s also a nice and warm costume choice for chilly nights, which is always an important thing to consider.

4. Veronica Sawyer
Musical: Heathers
It’s going to be common to be one of the Heathers this year, which is why it might be more interesting to go as Veronica Sawyer! Bonus points if you can accessorize with a blue croquet mallet.

5. Anya
Musical: Anastasia
I absolutely love this Anya costume from Anastasia. It’s uniquely detailed and looks very cozy. Just make sure to pair it with some lace up boots and maybe a wig.

6. The Beast
Musical: Beauty and the Beast
The Beast is a great costume for anyone who wants to go a bit more classic for Halloween. And the beast headpiece looks very cozy for cold autumn nights!

7. Little Red Ridinghood
Musical: Into the Woods
For the younger musical thespians, Little Red Ridinghood would be the most adorable costume! It’s a classic, so everyone will know who you are, but deep down you’ll know that you’re the Ridinghood from Into the Woods.

8. Buddy the Elf
Musical: Elf
This is the perfect costume for anyone with a huge personality and a constant sense of humor. This will definitely make you the center of the attention at any event!

9. The Scarecrow
Musical: The Wizard of Oz
If your personality is a bit more on the goofy side, The Scarecrow could be a super fun costume for you! And everything is included in this costume package, making this a very easy choice.

10. Wendy
Musical: Peter Pan
This costume is on the more simple and elegant side, if that sounds like you. Pair this with simple ballet flats, and you’ll be good to go!
