Ep 8. Broadway or Bust

In Project Runway season 14 episode 8, titled "Broadway or Bust," the remaining designers must create a show-stopping performance look for the iconic Broadway stage. The episode kicks off with a guest appearance from Broadway veteran Sutton Foster, who introduces the challenge and shares her insights on what it takes to create a successful Broadway costume.

The designers are given two days to complete their looks, with a twist – they must incorporate LED lights into their designs. This adds an extra level of complexity and challenge to the already difficult task of creating a look that can hold its own on a Broadway stage.

As the designers begin sketching and fabric shopping, tensions start to rise. With only a few weeks left in the competition, the pressure is on to produce something truly remarkable. There's no room for error, as one misstep could mean the difference between staying in the competition or being sent home.

As the designers work, they receive visits from the show's judges, who offer their critiques and advice. While some of the designers take the advice to heart and adjust their designs accordingly, others resist and stick to their original vision.

The day of the runway show arrives, and the designers are anxious to see how their pieces will look under the bright lights of the runway. The guest judge for the week is Tony-winning costume designer William Ivey Long, who has worked on some of Broadway's most iconic shows, including The Producers and Hairspray.

As the models strut down the runway, it's clear that some designers have succeeded in creating pieces worthy of Broadway, while others have fallen short. The judges offer their feedback, praising the designers who took risks and pushed the boundaries, while criticizing those who played it safe or failed to execute their vision.

In the end, one designer is crowned the winner of the challenge, while another is sent home. With only a few episodes left in the season, the remaining designers know that every challenge counts – and that there's no room for mistakes. Will they be able to rise to the occasion and create looks that dazzle on the runway? Only time will tell.
