one daren’t out-flash adelaide.

hot pink, it says right
over here, often appears thematically in contemporary and regional productions of
the musical, guys & dolls,

particularly in the costumes for miss adelaide and the hot box girls.
it does note that while the original 1950 production had its own color palette
newer renditions ever since tend to amp up the flashy nightclub aesthetic when the      
     gals are on.  when the
knuckleheads nathan detroit and sky masterson are on, however, there is
    often a generally muted earthtone schematic in play.

adelaide, adelaide
