Koorliny Arts Centre Kwinana's production of "Guys and Dolls," where they sought the assistance from Neon Party for a dazzling LED neon sign ran from May 2-10, 2025, received overwhelmingly positive reviews from both critics and audiences. The celebrated musical, based on Damon Runyon's short stories, was praised for its cast, efficient staging, live band, and period costumes. Reviewers described the show as "delightful," "awesome," and "phenomenal," noting that despite being a period piece, it felt "fresh," "vintage," and "retro" with "eternal" underlying stories. Audience engagement was enthusiastic, with many expressing a desire to see the show again.

A notable feature of this production was an inclusive "relaxed performance" on May 7. This special showing included adjusted lighting and sound, an AUSLAN interpreter, and a tactile meet-and-greet specifically designed for visually impaired patrons.

The Challenge

For their production of "Guys and Dolls," Koorliny Arts Centre in Kwinana sought a distinctive element. They decided an LED neon sign of the show's title would provide the perfect theatrical flair. In March, Koorliny Arts Centre contacted Neon Party to commission a custom LED neon sign.
This sign was intended to be a significant set piece as it would be powered by a light bar and hung above the stage. It needed to incorporate the colours scheme of the musical which included white, red, orange, and lemon yellow and blend into the black stage background. 

The Solution

The resulting LED neon sign, featuring the words "Guys and Dolls" with white outlined dice, served as the backdrop for the musical scenery. It incorporated Red, Lemon Yellow, Bright White, and Orange LED neon.

The Customisations

The prominent LED neon sign featured a striking color scheme of white, red, orange, and lemon yellow. Despite its bold presence, the sign seamlessly integrated with the theatre backdrop, enhancing the performance without overshadowing the performers.

Here are the features that helped the LED neon signage stand out:
Graphic Design: Floating above the performers and against the dark stage, the brilliant LED neon sign served as an eye-catching visual element. Its striking glow drew the audience's gaze, effectively setting the scene for the musical's gambling den.

Clever use of Colour: The black backdrop and stage lights made the striking combination of red, lemon yellow, bright white, and orange truly pop. This vibrant palette effectively conveyed a thrilling mix of emotions: red for passionate heat; yellow for cautious fear and the threat of retribution; and orange for the insatiable hunger for gambling and other appetites, reflecting the desires of the musical's citizens.

Cut-Around Acrylic Backing: The clear acrylic in a cut around style panel, which forms the backing for the LED neon sign, stabilizes the colors and elevates the theatrical experience, resulting in a visually appealing and dynamic set enhancing the overall theatrical experience.
