The Story of Some Like It Hot
The show has its origination in the early 1930s just before the end of the Prohibition era. Two male jazz musicians, Joe and Jerry, see the mob commit a crime at the Speakeasy where they’re performing. Rather than have the mobster to put out a hit on them, the musicians decide to go on the run.
They put on women’s clothing and join a touring all-women swing big band called Sweet Sue and the Society Syncopators. While touring, the two become infatuated with the band’s singer, Sugar Kane. They must keep their true identities hidden, but they both hope to fall in love with Sugar Kane.
As the group tours, romances form that threaten to expose Joe and Jerry as men. The mob and the FBI get involved, realizing Jerry and Joe from their tap-dancing routines. Which further complicating the groups touring to performances and its ability to make agreements with new investors.
Jerry, now identifying as Daphne, falls falls for an investor, leading to a marriage proposal. Eventually, true identities becomes known, but that doesn't alter their feelings for each other. As Prohibition expires, everyone is able to move on with their new lives.
