In Nov. 2021, NPR reported on allegations of sexual abuse against one of Broadway's most revered costume designers, William Ivey Long.
The creator of the look of shows from Chicago to Hairspray, he is a six-time Tony winner and past chairman of the American Theatre Wing, the organization that gives out the Tonys. Long also oversaw the design of The Lost Colony, a summer theater production in North Carolina, for a quarter century. NPR corroborated allegations that Long abused two men who worked on The Lost Colony when they were college students.
