NEW YORK -- The man behind the costumes of "Wicked" is poised to make Oscars history if he walks away with a win.
He's someone who tells stories without saying a word -- and while you may not know his name, you've seen his work -- from "Hamilton" to "The Color Purple," "West Side Story," and now bringing his style to "Wicked."
Costume designer and Oscar nominee Paul Tazewell, who sat down with entertainment reporter Joelle Garguilo at the Rosevale Kitchen at the CIVILIAN Hotel, reflected on his full-circle journey that began back in high school.
"The first full production that I did, that I designed, was 'The Wiz' when I was in 16 in high school," Tazewell said.
Now Tazewell has brought Oz to life once again, though this time on a significantly larger scale.
