For the scenes where they were least dressed and needed mics, we put the wireless mics in magazines or in their hats or the like.

When I did this show several years back, most of the time they guys were clothed enough to hide the transmitters in pockets sewn into their underwear. Yes you will need condoms and you will want to "seal" them up, using a cotton ball and some tape.

For the final number we put the mics in their cop hats. Just before they come onstage there is a big costume change if memory serves and during that time we quickly removed the ear rig mics and plugged the transmitter into a separate mic element permanently mounted in the hat. Most of the guys were off stage long enough to actually move their transmitter but at least 2 or maybe 3 of them had such fast changes that we actually had to use a completely separate wireless transmitter mounted in the hat just for that last song where they go full monty.

At the very least you'll need duplicate mic elements for all the guys and some very good wardrobe and A2 staff to pull it off.

When I did Full Monty we used panty hose and made sleeves so we could attach the mics to the actors arms.
