Because that’s what I’m used to seeing, that’s what the most featured productions have, that’s usually what the Monkey Girl in Masquerade wears. Then I started looking into what the individual productions featured, and lo and behold! Red seems just as common for the vest. Now, I’ve always known the Swedish/Danish one wore a red vest, but I thought it was an anormality. Turns out, he’s just one of many. I think the main division is that the original West End production featured a red vest, and hence also many of the productions to follow in Europe, Australia and Japan. But then green was done for the original Broadway one, and so the US & Canadian productions did green shades. Both shades are in use today. Which monkey are you today? -- source link
