The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County and Broadway Across America will launch the 2024-25 Broadway in Miami series with the South Florida premiere of Some Like It Hot for a limited engagement, Dec. 3-8, in the Arsht’s Ziff Ballet Opera House.
Set in Chicago when Prohibition has everyone thirsty for a little excitement, Some Like It Hot is the “glorious, big, high-kicking” (Associated Press) 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.
And what a trip it is! With its irresistible combination of heart and laughs, song and dance, Some Like It Hot won more theater awards than any show in its season, and was named Best Musical by the Drama Desk, The Drama League and the Outer Critics Circle. No wonder Deadline calls it “a tap-dancing, razzle-dazzling embrace of everything you love about musical theater.”
