With Halloween just days away, it's time once again for BWW's Top 10 Broadway-themed costumes to help make your holiday festivities extra special. From the ten-dollar Founding Father without a father to a Renaissance rock star, we cover the entire wardrobe spectrum for your trick or treating needs!

#1 FIDDLER ON THE ROOF's Tevye - You wouldn't have to work hard to become FIDDLER ON THE ROOF's favorite patriarch. Just grab a bottle of wine and your dancing shoes and you'll be ready to biddy biddy bum all night long! L'Chaim! (Photo credit: Carol Rosegg)


#2 THE WIZ's Fearsome Four - Ease on down the road this Halloween as one of your favorite characters from THE WIZ. But don't stay out too long - remember, there's no place like home. (Photo by: Kwaku Alston/NBC)


#3 Man's Best Friend - In honor of the Broadway revival of SYLVIA, why not pay homage to your favorite pooch. Or, take a more theatrical approach by channeling ANNIE's Sandy, THE WIZ's Toto or Nana from FINDING NEVERLAND. (Photo credit: Joan Marcus)


#4 CATS! - We show no favortism here at BWW, so if you're not a "dog person", why not take the feline route? The options are many - practical cats, dramatical cats, pragmatical cats, fanatical cats. Or as an alternative - there's always Simba and Nala! (Photo credit: Alessandro Pinna)


#5 FINDING NEVERLAND's Captain Hook - Looking for a more sinister costume this Halloween? There's no greater villain than Captain Hook himself. Just beware, we hear there's a certain crocodile still on the warpath - tick tock! (Photo credit: Carol Rosegg)


#6 SOMETHING ROTTEN's William Shakespeare - Poets, painters, bon vivants and merry minstrels too. Oh to be in England during the Renaissance! Take a step back in time and transform into the greatest rock star there ever was - William Shakespeare! (Photo credit: Joan Marcus)


#7 HAMILTON's Founding Fathers - Here comes the General! George Washington, Lafayette or the ten-dollar founding father without a father himself, Alexander Hamilton. Show your patriotic side this Halloween and pay tribute to the men (and women!) who built our nation from the ground up. (Photo credit: Joan Marcus)


#8 - ROCKY HORROR's Dr. Frank N. Furter - Take a jump to the left in honor of the 40th Anniversary of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW. Dr. Frank N. Furter, Janet, Brad and Riff Raff all await you this Halloween. It will be astounding. (Photo credit: David Freeman from show's official Facebook page)


#9 THE JERSEY BOYS - Oh what a night you'll have as one of the iconic members of the JERSEY BOYS. With the show's 10th Anniversary on the horizon, it's time that Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons got their due.


#10 - SCHOOL OF ROCK's Dewey Finn - Wanna be in the band? Grab your guitar and your Horace Green Prep School uniform and you're ready for a rockin' Halloween. (Photo credit: Walter McBride)
