When a show needs a fast costume change on stage, the most effective way is for the backstage staff to pull everything off in one go. The actor just drops their arms naturally with the beat of the music, and in a split second, the outfit switch is done. These costumes are built to make quick changes possible, so unless the crowd is really paying close attention, most people don’t even notice it happen. For trickier costumes, the actor steps offstage for a moment to get help from the staff, but even this usually takes less than five seconds. But there are also shows where the costume switch happens while the actor spins around. But if they turn the wrong way, it comes off looking awkward. When it’s done right though, the effect is huge—and the audience is always blown away.
