Some Like It Hot at Cadillac Palace Theatre
Set during the Prohibition era in Chicago, "Some Like It Hot" tells the exhilarating story of two musicians who, after witnessing a mob hit, are forced to flee the city. With gangsters close behind, they embark on a cross-country train journey that proves to be both life-changing and full of adventure. The musical has captivated audiences and critics alike, earning more theater awards than any other show in its season, including Best Musical accolades from the Drama Desk, The Drama League, and the Outer Critics Circle.
The production boasts a talented creative team, including a book by Matthew López (The Inheritance) and 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). It is based on the classic MGM film "Some Like It Hot," which the American Film Institute has named the "Funniest American Movie of All Time."
The creative team behind this spectacular includes Scott Pask (Sets), Gregg Barnes (Costumes), Natasha Katz (Lights), Brian Ronan (Sound), and many others who contribute to the show's unforgettable experience. With its irresistible mix of heart, humor, and show-stopping numbers, "Some Like It Hot" is a testament to the enduring appeal of musical theater.
