Lots of broadway shows feature a spinning stage (aka a turn-table) where the cast will use it to either show a character walking somewhere or time passing or scenes changing. Examples of this are SpongeBob The Musical, Hamilton, American Idiot, and Lion King. This is more rare to find rather than the normal, casual stage found in Beetlejuice or any casual musical.

The costumes are really what brings a character together. Especially if you're doing a live performance. What would the cast of Hamilton wear if they're supposed to play characters from the 1700's-1800's? Not a hoodie and some sweatpants. They wear what their characters would've or did wear. A lot of musicals, especially Broadway, rely on the makeup and costumes to make a character pop. Wicked's Wicked Witch of The West has her iconic green skin, same with Shrek and Fiona in the Shrek The Musical. Makeup and Costumes are crucial to a character and without them, the character wouldn't be who they are.
