Set in Chicago during Prohibition when jazz music was everywhere, "Some Like It Hot" draws similarities to another award winning Broadway musical, Chicago. Jazz elements influence the entire show as the main characters, Joe and Jerry, are struggling musicians working to survive on speakeasy performances. Their lives face an unexpected twist when they witness a gangster committing a crime in their mob-controlled venue and need to disguise themselves as female musicians to protect their identities as new criminal targets.
Joe takes on the persona of Josephine, while Jerry disguises himself as 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 try to earn her affection without getting caught. The growth 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 adaptation of the 1959 movie of the same name, which starred prolific actors Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, and Marilyn Monroe. The movie itself was based on the 1953 French movie Fanfare of Love and has since become one of the most prominent movies of all time. The movie earned three Golden Globe Awards and one Academy Award and was selected for the first class of 25 films chosen by the United States National Film Registry for preservation.
The film's widespread 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 hurry to secure tickets for showings at Paramount Theatre and other theaters. "Some Like It Hot" features showtunes by Marc Shaiman and Marc Wittman, the duo behind numerous hit musicals like "Hairspray" and "Catch Me If You Can."
The production includes dazzling dance numbers and catchy songs like "I'm California Bound," "Baby, Let's Get Good," and "Zee Bap." The original Broadway cast earned a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album for their recording of the show's soundtrack.
