For this production of La Cage Aux Folles at the Goodspeed Opera House, Ricky wore many different hats to complete the best possible show based on Michael's design. Ricky was the swatcher, shopper, extra crafts artisan, and rhinestoner. Ricky also managed scheduling multiple pre-production fittings for the drag designs with the cast and the three costume shops. Once at Goodspeed, he worked closely with their costume shop to help bring Michael's vision to the stage.
