This one's for the HAMILTON fans - and it's sure to leave you feeling HELPLESS!

Own a piece of theater history with this signed costume sketch by Paul Tazewell, the Tony and Oscar-winning designer behind HAMILTON's iconic look. This stunning graphite-on-paper sketch captures the elegance of "Best of Wives and Best of Women" - the costume worn by Phillipa Soo as Eliza Hamilton. A must-have for theater lovers and collectors alike!

Paul Tazewell has profoundly impacted theater, film, and television over three decades with his innovative and inspired designs. Renowned for visually stunning costumes, his work enhances both storytelling and character development.

Paul's recent achievements include winning an Academy Award for Best Costume Design for his work on WICKED. This accolade was accompanied by a BAFTA Award for Best Costume Design, a Critics Choice Award, the Costume Designers Guild's Excellence in Sci-Fi/Fantasy Film award, NAACP Image Award, and the Innovator Award from the African American Film Critics Association, underscoring his critical role in bringing the fantastical world of Oz to life. Additional accolades include an Academy Award nomination for WEST SIDE STORY in 2021, an Emmy for "The Wiz! Live," and recognitions for his contributions to "Harriet, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" and "Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert."

On Broadway, his costumes in DEATH BECOMES HER and the 2024 production of SUFFS demonstrate his ongoing influence, earning him a Drama Desk Award in 2024 and a Tony Award nomination. His revolutionary designs for HAMILTON won him a Tony Award in 2016, further establishing his reputation in theatrical costume design.
