The redheads
Gwen Verdon danced Redhead in 1959 and was one. Almost nobody else here started out that way. Lucille Ball was a brunette until MGM got hold of her, and Carol Burnett went red because George Abbott thought the princess in Once Upon a Mattress needed brightening. Broadway did not so much cast redheads as manufacture them. Hand-built and sourced, one citation per head, because no biography in the catalogue mentions hair.
