Set in Chicago when Prohibition has everyone thirsty for a little excitement, Some Like It Hot is the rollicking story of two musicians forced to flee the Windy City after witnessing a mob hit. With gangsters hot on their heels, they're on the run as the newest members of the swingingest big band ever to cross the country. Can they hide in plain sight without completely losing themselves? Or will the mob, the truth, and maybe even love itself finally catch up to them?

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Some Like It Hot
Theater review: ‘Some Like It Hot’ impresses on stage, held back by audio issues
7 / 10
The show is led admirably by the leads, Matt Loehr as Joe/Josephine and Tavis Kordell as Jerry/Daphne, who maintain the pace and push the energy throughout the production. The rest of the cast more than holds their own, with special recognition going to Leandra Ellis-Gaston’s take on the character Sugar, made famous by Marilyn Monroe in the movie. She manages to capture Marilyn’s sweet naïveté that endeared her to millions while also making the character her own. I also want to mention Edward Juvier as Osgood, a millionaire who falls in love with Daphne (Jerry in drag). What could have been a mincing dolt instead becomes a sweet and endearing hopeless romantic who is just seeking love and open to it in whatever form it presents itself.
Review: The first national tour of ‘Some Like It Hot’ has lively retro jazz music
8 / 10
All that said, if you like a jazzy, retro night out, “Some Like It Hot,” which is now in its first national tour, has some appeal, especially in this city. It’s a fast-paced show, as directed and choreographed by Casey Nicholaw, although I found the touring version, which is smaller, to be thankfully less frenetic than the original. Among the standout performances to enjoy are the very droll Tarra Conner Jones as bandleader Sweet Sue and the journeyman Broadway player Matt Loehr, who plays the Tony Curtis role of Joe here. Loehr is one of those consummate pros who often are passed over for starring roles and yet have a daunting level of craft at their disposal.
