#374: Cristina Lundy // Hamilton Broadway's Assistant Wardrobe Supervisor // Part Three

Cristina is currently Hamilton Broadway's Assistant Wardrobe Supervisor, with over 20 years of experience and a lifetime of good taste in pretty much everything. So far we’ve talked about Hamilton, Shakespeare, temperamental fabrics, favorite silhouettes, clothes as self expression, boundaries of all kinds, backstage logistics, stage door stories, destroying the patriarchy… and we did it all referencing Mad Men, Damn Yankees, Taylor Swift, and 1994’s cult classic Reality Bites. This week, Cristina is breaking down the structure of her work day and gives insight into all the different roles in the wardrobe department: dressers, day workers, accessories, shoes, hats, stitchers, repairs, you name it. You know how we always talk about how gorgeous the costumes are? It takes a lot of work to keep them that stunning! Plus, with more questions from the Patreon Peeps, Cristina talks about her love of Shakespeare, and gives advice on how to make a living doing what you love.
