About Some Like It Hot on Broadway

Based on the iconic Marilyn Monroe comedy film of the same name, this Tony-nominated Broadway adaptation has already made a significant impact on the theater world. Set in the 1930s, Some Like It Hot takes us on a whirlwind journey filled with comedy, romance, and suspense. The story revolves around two struggling musicians, Joe and Jerry, who find themselves in a precarious situation after inadvertently witnessing a mob hit in Chicago. Realizing the danger they are in, they decide to go undercover to escape the mob's wrath.

Their solution? Disguise themselves as women—Josephine and Daphne—and join an all-female jazz band headed for a gig in sunny Florida. As they navigate their new identities, they encounter a series of comedic and heartfelt challenges. Joe falls for the band's beautiful singer, Sugar, but can't reveal his true identity. Jerry, now Daphne, attracts the attention of a wealthy but clueless suitor. All the while, they must maintain their disguises to keep their true identities a secret, not just from the band but also from the mobsters who are still on their trail.

As the story unfolds, the characters embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. Themes of identity, love, and the lengths one will go to for survival are explored, all set against the backdrop of the lively and glamorous world of 1930s jazz music.
