Some Like It Hot

Like the 1959 Hollywood classic on which it’s based, this gender-switching, Prohibition-era musical follows two male jazz musicians who witness a mob hit. Suddenly on the lam from gangsters, they pose as women to join an all-female band on its tour bus to safer climes. Witty repartee, hot jazz, lightning-fast tap dancing and other tropes of the Roaring Twenties helped elevate the show’s Broadway premiere to 13 Tony Awards in 2023, the most of any musical of its season.
