| Of course, Adelaide and the Hot Box Girls are actually performers, so it makes a certain sense, in a musical, for them to have a few numbers. It might seem odd if they didn't. Numbers like "Steam Heat" and even "Honey Bun" have to be justified in other ways, though. There's really no reason for the action of South Pacific to be set around Thanksgiving, except therefore there can be a Thanksgiving Follies. One can assume that the union meetings at Sleep Tite don't always come with entertainment, but on this day, somehow, there is. :-) |
