BWW Exclusive: Our "Broadway By Design" series just highlighted Clint Ramos's costumes for Off-Broadway's SWEET CHARITY, starring Sutton Foster!

"The biggest challenge was how to make it not pretty, more real, and almost absurd," says Ramos. "I wanted to quote the period enough within a modern context. We pushed the period to a bit later in the '60s going into the '70s because that period is grittier."


#MotivationalMonday: A word from Emma Stone, who just nabbed the 2017 Golden Globe for Best Actress for LA LA LAND...

"Comedy was my sport. It taught me how to roll with the punches. Failure is the exact same as success when it comes to comedy because it just keeps coming. It never stops."
- Emma Stone (via BrainyQuote)
