Orlando Welcomes ‘Some Like It Hot’ This Holiday Season

Orlando, Florida, is set to be filled with laughter and vibrant music this December as the hit Broadway musical Some Like It Hot makes its much-anticipated stop at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. This award-winning show will run for a limited engagement from December 17 to December 22, 2024.

A Classic Story with a Fresh Twist

Based on the iconic 1959 film by the same name, which was in turn inspired by the 1935 French film Fanfare of Love, Some Like It Hot follows two musicians who find themselves on the run after witnessing a mob hit during the tumultuous Prohibition era. Faced with danger, they adopt new identities and embark on a chaotic cross-country journey filled with fun and romance.

The story takes a delightful turn as the two protagonists encounter a dazzling singer harboring dreams of stardom, capturing the affections of one of the disguised musicians. Meanwhile, the other finds himself pursued romantically by a wealthy suitor intent on discovering true love, all while avoiding the gangsters hot on their trail.

Creative Team Behind the Magic

This lively adaptation features a book contributed by Tony Award-winners Matthew López and Amber Ruffin. The musical score, known for its energy and catchy tunes, is crafted by the acclaimed duo behind Hairspray, Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman. Additionally, the choreography is directed by Casey Nicholaw, who is also a Tony Award winner for his creative direction.
