Some Like It Hot is a stage musical based on the 1959 film of the same name. It is the second such adaptation of the movie, following Sugar, and features music by Marc Shaiman. Matthew Lopez and Amber Ruffin wrote the book. The musical debuted in December 2022 on Broadway with Christian Borle as Joe and J Harrison Ghee as Jerry/Daphne.The musical shares its premise with the source material, but with some changes to the plot and characters. In Prohibition-era Chicago, musicians Joe and Jerry are thick as thieves, but down on their luck as far as employment goes. When they witness their new boss, gangster Spats Colombo, murder three men in cold blood, Joe and Jerry join an all-female band run by the entertainer Sweet Sue as run as "Josephine" and "Daphne", hoping to cross the Mexican border in San Diego. But complications arise: Joe develops an attraction to the band's star, the charismatic singer and aspiring actress Sugar Kane, and eccentric millionaire Osgood Fielding III develops an interest in Daphne. Also, not only have Spats and his men gotten wind of their runaway witnesses' planned absconding to Mexico, law enforcement is also en route. All these plotlines converge on Osgood's hotel, where Sweet Sue also hopes to have the show of her life... | |

Heterosexual Life-Partners | |
| Some Like It Hot (Theatre) / int_1dfbbf31 | comment |
Heterosexual Life-Partners: Jerry and Joe were raised as brothers and are a package deal at the beginning of the show; "You Can't Have Me (If You Don't Have Him)" is a double-act about how close and in tune they are. Jerry fully accepts Daphne as part of their identity by the end of the show, making it closer to Platonic Life-Partners. | |

Recycled Soundtrack: The song "Let's Be Bad", give or take major lyrics changes, was originally written for and performed in Smash. The two works share songwriters (Marc Shaiman and Scott Whitman). | |

Adaptational Location Change | |
| Some Like It Hot (Theatre) / int_40b98588 | comment |
Adaptational Location Change: The original film has Sweet Sue and her band travel from Chicago to Miami, and Joe and Jerry come along for the ride to escape the mob. In this version, Sue and Sugar being black (along with Jerry and possibly other members, depending on the female ensemble) means they're not heading to Jim Crow-era Florida, but instead to San Diego, California. Instead of hiding out in Miami, Joe and Jerry now plan to cross the border into Mexico. | |

Run for the Border | |
| Some Like It Hot (Theatre) / int_607d4ada | comment |
Run for the Border: This version of the story has Joe's plan to evade Spats and his henchmen be to tour with Sue and her all-female band across the country to San Diego, then cross the border into Mexico. Daphne, the one who had been developing reservations about escaping, actually spends a fun and romantic evening with Osgood in Tijuana...then goes back to San Diego. The irony is lampshaded. | |

Race Lift | |
| Some Like It Hot (Theatre) / int_d7c3ba61 | comment |
Race Lift: The original film's main cast were white Americans, but some tweaks have been made here: Jerry/Daphne, Sugar, and Sweet Sue are reimagined as black entertainers, adding an extra dimension to their struggles trying to make it during Prohibition. Osgood is also reimagined as being of Hispanic ethnicity, specifically Mexican-American. | |

Running Gag: People keep cracking jokes about Joe's age, and several characters say "Josephine" looks like an older woman, to Joe's offense. Minnie repeatedly tells Sue about something in the latter's apartment, only for Sue to tell her that she doesn't have that thing, and Minnie to realize that she had broken into Sue's neighbors' apartments. | |

Lady in Red | |
| Some Like It Hot (Theatre) / int_fdf7d23d | comment |
Lady in Red: Jerry/Daphne accepts a red dress from a colleague for the night out in Tijuana, the first not-so-conservative feminine outfit the character wears in the show. Not only does it reflect their growing confidence in their femininity, it also fits the Latin-inspired dance of "Let's Be Bad" and the budding romance with Osgood. | |

Lazily Gender-Flipped Name: Pressed for time, Joe passes himself and Jerry off as women named Josephine and Geraldine. To Joe's confusion, Jerry happily changes his alias to Daphne because he likes the way the name feels, a sign that "he" is more comfortable with a feminine genderfluid identity. | |
