One of the few things that Lin Manuel Miranda asked Paul for Alexander Hamilton’s costume was that he be represented in green, because “green is the color of money” and it worked perfectly for the first secretary of the Treasury.Īll of these elements present in Tazewell’s designs not only tell the story and represent each character but also merge that modern and period vision that Miranda proposed from the beginning. ![]() As time goes by, costumes transform throughout the musical from frock coats to tailcoats, and from ballgowns to regency dresses. In Hamilton, the storyline takes place from the 1780s to 1810, approximately, which is a beautiful period full of colorful and elegant costumes.
