This Is Your beginner’s Call! Time To Check Out The Best Of The Sims 4 Broadway CC.

As a fan of theatre and all things musical, I wanted to add some theatrical CC to my game; however, items inspired by musicals or perfect for theatre fans can be hard to come by. I have collated a huge list of various pieces of CC perfect for recreating looks from your favourite shows. I’ve split this list into two sections: one for stage show looks and one for movie musicals. Let’s take a look!

Stage Shows

To make this collection more navigable, I have split the following into two sections. For fans of stage musicals, you are in the right place! For fans of looks inspired by musicals known better for their movie adaptations, scroll down or use the table of contents.

Cabaret – Willkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome

One of my favourite musicals of all time, and fitting for the current political climate. Cabaret tells the story of Sally Bowles, a nightclub singer in 1930s Berlin, and her new lover, Clifford Bradshaw. I wanted to recreate Liza Minnelli’s iconic look worn during the song ‘Mein Herr’. I have also created a few poses myself to capture the sleek Fosse look.

The hair is a classic 1920s bob by Lonelyboy, the garters by Blue Craving, and the choker by Quirky_Introvert. Also by Lonelyboy, the iconic bowler hat. Sally Bowles wouldn’t be complete without the iconic hat!

Moulin Rouge – Caught In A Bad Romance

After the 2001 movie Moulin Rouge was released, it wouldn’t be another 17 years until the musical made its way to the Broadway stage. The show follows Christian, a young composer, who falls in love with a star of the Moulin Rouge show in Paris, set to the music of various popular artists. These two outfits by MakeSims replicate the outfits worn by Santiago and Nini in the stage adaptation. Check them out below.

Evita – Don’t Cry For Me SimNation

Unless you have been living under a rock, you’ve probably seen videos of Rachel Zegler belting for her life off the balcony of the London Palladium, where she plays the role of former first lady of Argentina, Eva Peron. Eva (knicknamed Evita) was known for her philanthropy and beauty, so let’s take a look at some CC to recreate the iconic balcony scene.

This beautiful strapless dress is by Five5Cats on The Sims Resource, emulating the iconic scene from the musical. Pair this with DelcoWebney’s Elegant bun, and you have yourself a philanthropic first lady. As an added bonus, I included the flag of Argentina found in DazzaJay’s Mega Country Flag Pack.

Hairspray – Welcome To The Sixties

Hey, Nicki Blonsky from the movie Hairspray! Talk about an iconic look, Tracy Turnblad ran the streets of Baltimore like it was the Navy with that hair-do. The ‘Tracy Hair + Headband’ by Twentiethcenturysims was quite literally made for her. Pair this with the ‘Open Collar Blouse’ by Waxesnostalgic and you have a perfcet recreation. Take a look at them using the links below!

Hamilton – My Shot

One of the most influential pieces of theatre of the 21st century! Hamilton tells the story of founding father Alexander Hamilton to a score influenced by rap, R&B, and hip-hop. The ‘Angelica Gown’ by Revolution Sims recreates the dress worn by Angelica Schuyler in Act 1 of Hamilton. It even comes in 12 swatches that include colours similar to those of Eliza “and Peggy”!

Also by Revolution Sims is the ‘George Washington ‘Washington’s Uniform’, similar to the one worn by Hamilton and other characters in Act 1 of the show. You can find the links to both of these below.

Sweeney Todd – The Demon Barber

I couldn’t make a list of Sims 4 Broadway CC without including some Sondheim. Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, tells the story of an ex-convict barber who has a passion for murder and reuniting with his daughter. I found this amazing hair with a streak accessory by Tricoufamily. The streak can be found in the rings category and can be added in any number of combinations.

Sweeney’s lover, Mrs Lovett, spends her time in her pie shop below the barbers where she bakes and serves her pies filled with suspicious meat that eventually get dubbed as the best pies in London. Tekri’s ‘Pepper Loops’ fit prefectly with Mrs Lovetts deranged attitude to life and death. I paired this with the ‘Rather Ravishing Skirt’ and ‘Perfectly Plain Blouse’ by GildenGhosts to finsih the look.

Movie Musicals

While some of the above have had movies made of their stage counterparts, the following collection is from musicals better known from movies.

Wonka – Well There’s Chocolate

2023’s Wonka starred Timothee Chalamet in the titular role, having previously starred Gene Wilder in the original movie in 1971, in turn based on the book by Roald Dahl. The movie follows a young Willy as he battes his industry rivals as he enters the world of chocolate making.

Willy Wonka’s look is a difficult one to replicate as it is so eccentric and unique. However, the ‘Thein Suit’ by BeckySims paired with the trosuers also included in the set makes for an almost-perfect Willy Wonka recreation.

West Side Story – I Like To Be In America

West Side Story is a (for the time) modern re-telling of Romeo & Juliet. Instead of the Montagues and Capulets, it’s the Jets and the Sharks, rival gangs in Manhattan’s West Side. Anita, a Puerto Rican immigrant, close friend and confidant of Maria, the movie’s version of Juliet.

This version is based on Ariana DeBose’s portrayal in the 2021 adaptation of the musical. For Anita’s retro style, the ‘Carol Dress’ by Sifix over on The Sims Resource felt like the closest match. Topped off with ‘Curbs 88’ by Dallasgirl, and you have yourself a Maria fit for the West Side. Make sure to download the required mesh for the hair linked below.

Mary Poppins – Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Try saying that backwards. Mary Poppins is based on the original novel by P.L. Travers and starred Julie Andrews as the magical nanny herself. Mary Poppins only appears when she is needed, and she is certainly needed by the Banks family.

Being set in 1910, it is imperitive to get the look period accurate. I found the ‘Edwardian Coat’ by HistroicalSimsLife that exudes Mary Poppins enegry. In the movie, Julie Andrews dons a flower hat, thankfully this has been recretated for The Sims 4 by Birksche. Find them linked below!

South Pacific – I’m Gonna Wash That Man

Nellie Forbush in Rogers & Hammerstein’s South Pacific rocks some gorgeous vintage swimwear in the 1958 movie. Set during World War 2 in the Pacific theatre of war, South Pacific tells a romantic story of a French planter and a US Navy Nurse.

While we do have some great swimwear sets in The Sims 4’s various Packs and Kits, nothing came quite close enough for my liking. Colores Urbano’s ‘Pin Up Swimwear’ fits perfectly with the 1940s vibe I was going for. The hairstyle is Feral Poodles’ ‘Elizabeth Hair’. The vintage pin curls were essential for the look, after all, Queen Elizabeth was a driver during the Second World War.

The Wizard Of Oz – There’s No Place Like Home

I had to save the best for last. Judy Garland’s iconic portrayal of Dorothy Gale in 1939’s The Wizard of Oz is one for the history books. Everything about her look had to be perfect. Thankfully, creator Casssgoths has created the ‘Dorothy Dress’ to help us recreate the look. It also comes in a variety of other swatches!

And who could forget the ruby slippers? One of the most recognisable pieces of costume in cinema history. The ‘Ruby Slippers’ by Umemaru comes in five different swatches, including the signature red. If you want to recreate Dorothy in the upcoming Wicked: For Good, then try out the silver swatch. (Fun Fact: The slippers were silver in the book, and only made red for the movie to showcase the colour technology)
