Set in Chicago during Prohibition when jazz music was everywhere, "Some Like It Hot" draws similarities to another famous Broadway show, Chicago. Jazz elements fill the entire show as the main characters, Joe and Jerry, are struggling musicians working to survive on speakeasy performances. Their lives face an unexpected turn of events when they witness a gangster committing a crime in their mob-controlled venue and need to begin cross-dressing to protect their identities as new criminal targets.
Joe takes on the persona of Josephine, while Jerry transforms into Daphne and the two join an all-female swing band. The band's singer Sugar Kane becomes a integral part of their story as the two men attempt to earn her affection without getting caught. The journey each character faces many tests of their strengths and teaches them unexpected lessons about themselves.
If the story sounds familiar, it's because "Some Like It Hot" is a Broadway reenactment of the 1959 movie of the same name, which starred film icons Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, and Marilyn Monroe. The film itself was based on the 1953 French movie Fanfare of Love and has since become one of the most groundbreaking movies in American cinema. The movie took home three Golden Globe Awards and one Academy Award and was chosen to be in the first class of 25 movies chosen by the United States National Film Registry for preservation.
The film's notable success led it to become the foundation for the 1972 Broadway show "Sugar", and even various stage productions in the 1990s, and eventually, the 2022 Broadway adaptation. Audiences can't get enough of the show and rush to secure tickets for showings at Belk Theatre at Blumenthal Performing Arts Center and other theaters.
