William Ivey Long
Between Taste and Travesty: Costume Designs by William Ivey
Long. Broadway costume designer William Ivey Long will return to
his home state of North Carolina this spring for a special
exhibition at the Cameron Art Museum, Wilmington, N.C.,
showcasing his distinguished career. This exhibition, Long’s
first in a museum, celebrates the glitz and glamour of
musical-theater, and the creative genius of Long’s celebrated
designs. The exhibition features costumes, sketches, and
accessories from the artist’s personal archives. Long, a
four-time recipient of the Tony Award, has outfitted fifty
Broadway shows and was inducted into the Theater Hall of Fame
this summer. Most recently, his work was seen in the movie
version of The Producers, a production which required 7,000
costumes. He has been nominated for ten Tony Awards, and his
work – from sleek and chic in Guys and Dolls to outrageous in
Stephen Sondheim’s Frogs – has received acclaim on Broadway
and beyond. Call 910.395.5999 for more information.
