Mike Capri has been associated with the theatre since he was 8 years of age and started dance lessons. He was soon appearing in numerous shows and choreographing his first production while still a teenager. By his early twenties he was a professional dancer with the Second Generation appearing with many famous names in many different countries. These years also saw him appearing on TV, staging individual acts and even in a big Hollywood movie.
As the years progressed, Mike developed his talents in production so was often called upon to not only choreograph and direct but oversee entire productions from staging, lighting and costumes. ln 1992 he was joined by a couple of friends to develop his brainchild costume company working initially out of one of the partne’s garage. Over twenty years and three moves later, the company, now under the sole control of Mike, has developed into the acknowledged company it is today. With a talented team around him, Mike is able to concentrate on the area in which he has become unrivalled, that of designing and developing the stunning showgirl costumes for which Triple C Costume Hire is unique beyond the confines of the capital.
