Somewhere in the Prohibition Era, musicians Jerry and Joe witness a murder by the mafia and go into hiding by disguising themselves as women and joining an all-female band. As they navigate their new identities, they both fall in love with the band’s lead singer, Sugar, while trying to avoid being caught by the mob. Audiences can witness this lively turn of events eight times a week at the Shubert Theater in the grandiose Some Like It Hot, which is currently nominated for 13 Tony Awards, the most that any show has received this season. Based on the classic 1959 Billy Wilder film starring Marilyn Monroe, the musical is a mix of slapstick comedy, mistaken identities, and romantic entanglements, set to a jazzy score featuring classic songs from the 1920s and 30s.
