Creating so many shows for such diverse audiences, Adelaide naturally fell into show production.

These shows have been booked extensively throughout the Midwest and the West Coast.
In 2020, she became the Show's Production Manager for the Concertize Co. There, she created Latin tribute shows in cities across the country for Fever’s Latin Candlelight Series. These shows consisted of local musicians paying homage to artists such as Juan Gabriel, José José, and Luis Miguel, as well as some special Day of the Dead Shows. After creating a pool of bands and musicians to pull from, she began her music consulting company, Chido Entertainment, which consults with and provides companies and individuals with live music entertainment. Her specialty is various forms of Latin music.
