Alvin Colt | Costume designer, 92
Alvin Colt, 92, a Tony-winning costume designer whose work spanned 60 years of theater from On the Town to the Forbidden Broadway revues, died Sunday at Roosevelt Hospital in New York.
Mr. Colt's first show was On the Town, the 1944 musical about sailors on a 24-hour shore leave in New York. Among the more than 50 shows he worked on during his career were Guys and Dolls (1950); Top Banana (1951); Rodgers and Hammerstein's Pipe Dream (1955), for which he won a Tony; The Lark (1955); Li'l Abner (1956); and Here's Love (1963).
In his later years, the Kentucky native was known for his outlandish costumes for Forbidden Broadway, a long-running series of revues that spoof Broadway shows.
