On a nor- mal day, before the opening W of a new production, he may conduct up to 15 costume fittings, in addition to shopping for fabrics and discussing designs with a jewelry maker. But when the show is up and running, the job is far from over. Long must continue to do fit- tings when the cast changes, or make new costumes — as he did with the golden chorus girls in Mel Brooks’ The Producers, after two years of gen-

He was so confident that The Lion King would win (and it did), that he did- n’t feel the stress he normally has during the Tonys. “I finally got to enjoy the party.” To add to his collection of honors and awards, Long received the Legend of Fashion Award from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago on May 3, 2003.
