Photos: Inside the SOME LIKE IT HOT Legacy Robe Ceremony

The new musical comedy SOME LIKE IT HOT is now officially open at the Shubert Theatre (225 West 44th Street). Per opening night tradition, the Legacy Robe was awarded to the ensemble member with the most Broadway chorus credits.

In this case, the lucky winner of the robe was ensemblist Jenny Hill, who boasts credits in Seussical, Spamalot, Elf the Musical, Something Rotten!, Getting the Band Back Together, and Wonderful Town.

The Legacy Robe Ceremony is one of the most special theatrical traditions as it honors the contributions and talents of Broadway ensemble performers.

The Legacy Robe is an Actors Equity opening night tradition, administered and presented by Equity's Advisory Committee on Chorus Affairs (ACCA). The Robe has been passed from one Broadway Chorus Musical to the next since 1950 and is awarded by Equity and the ACCA to the Chorus member with the most Broadway Chorus Contract credits. Each ceremony includes past recipients, who are invited to attend to introduce themselves and the production for which they received the Robe, helping to carry on the legacy of the Equity Chorus community.

Equity Staff Member, Field Rep Jeffrey Bateman, who is affectionately known as "the Keeper of the Robe," was on hand at this performance to bestow the robe upon Ms. Hill.

The brand-new Broadway musical comedy SOME LIKE IT HOT features a book by Matthew López (The Inheritance) & Amber Ruffin ("The Amber Ruffin Show"), music by Marc Shaiman, lyrics by Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman (Hairspray) and direction and choreography by Casey Nicholaw (The Book of Mormon).

The musical is based on the classic MGM film Some Like It Hot which has been named the "Funniest American Movie of All Time" by the American Film Institute.
