Set in Chicago when Prohibition has everyone thirsty for a little excitement, Some Like It Hot is the story of two musicians forced to flee the Windy City after witnessing a mob hit. With gangsters hot on their heels, they catch a cross-country train for the life-chasing, life-changing trip of a lifetime. Based on the classic MGM film directed by Billy Wilder, Some Like It Hot features a book by Matthew López and Amber Ruffin, music by Marc Shaiman, lyrics by Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman and direction and choreography by Casey Nicholaw.

Some Like It Hot began performances at Broadway’s Shubert Theatre on November 1, 2022. The show received 13 Tony Award nominations, winning four, including Best Choreography and Best Leading Actor.
