Prior to building out the fashionable world of Wicked for its film adaptation, the Academy Award nominee designed the costumes for Broadway productions like In the Heights, Hamilton, and The Color Purple—just to name a few.


On the latest episode of The Who What Wear Podcast, Tazewell sits down with Who What Wear's entertainment director, Jessica Baker, to share how he was approached for Wicked, where he drew inspiration for the costumes and more. For excerpts from their conversation, scroll below.
