I’ve used an ACE bandage on the inner thigh; run the wire up the back and tack with 3M Transpore.

The smaller the transmitter, then better.

The Shure, Lectrosonics, etc. make smaller bodypacks that are much easier to hide and don’t weigh down the fabric as much (the UR1M is nifty).

mic belts, bra strap, neoprene strap around the thigh, sewn into a pocket inside the garment or mask/hat/wig.

I've done some crazy mic placements over the years, as have most of us who work in theatre.

Want a real hoot? ask the Broadway guys how they mic up the signers at the end of the first act of Hair, when they are all naked.   :o

Having grown up in Los Angeles when Hair! premiered in the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion at the Los Angeles Music Center, I recall the show was done with hand held, wired mics (as was the LA production of Jesus Christ Superstar at what became Gibson Amphitheater (and now D9 EQed for a new attraction at Universal).

More recently?  Do tell..... ;)
