Woody Shelp(1927-2004)
- Costume and Wardrobe Department
Woody Shelp was the preeminent "hat maker" - his term - for Broadway
shows for four decades (1962-2002). He created the hats worn by Mia Farrow
as Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby (1974) and Glenn Close as Cruella De Vil in 101 Dalmatians (1996),
but he will be best remembered by the theatrical community and
theatregoers the world over for making the signature, Champagne-colored
finale hats that crowned Theoni V. Aldredge's costumes for Michael Bennett's
record-breaking Broadway musical A Chorus Line (1985).
