Set in Chicago during Prohibition when jazz music was all the rage, "Some Like It Hot" draws similarities to another award winning Broadway show, Chicago. Jazz elements enhance the entire show as the main characters, Joe and Jerry, are struggling musicians working to survive on speakeasy shows. Their lives face a comical turn wrench when they witness a gangster committing a crime in their mob-controlled speakeasy and need to disguise themselves as female musicians to protect their identities from the mob.
Joe reinvents himself as Josephine, while Jerry transforms into Daphne and the two join an women-only swing band. The band's singer Sugar Kane becomes a integral part of their story as the two men hope to woo her without blowing their cover. The adventure each character tests their strengths and teaches them valuable lessons about themselves.
If the story sounds familiar, it's because "Some Like It Hot" is a Broadway reimagining of the 1959 film of the same name, which starred prolific actors Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, and Marilyn Monroe. The film itself was based on the 1953 French film Fanfare of Love and has since become one of the most prominent movies of any generation. The movie took home three Golden Globe Awards and one Academy Award and was among the first class of 25 movies chosen by the United States National Film Registry to preserve for future generations.
The film's notable success led it to become the basis for the 1972 Broadway show "Sugar", and multiple theatre productions in the 1990s, and eventually, the 2022 Broadway adaptation. Audiences rave about the show and rush to secure tickets for showings at Thrivent Financial Hall At Fox Cities Performing Arts Center and others across the country. "Some Like It Hot" features music and lyrics by Marc Shaiman and Marc Wittman, the hitmakers behind other hit musicals like "Hairspray" and "Catch Me If You Can."
