A Super-Sized Spectacular, Some Like it Hot Brings the Heat to Walton Arts Center!

June 26, 2025

This musical is coming in HOT! Winner of four Tony Awards®, including best choreography and best costumes, and the Grammy Award® for best musical theater album, Some Like it Hot is “A Super-Sized, All-Out Song-And-Dance Spectacular!” - The New York Times. 

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. 


“A boisterous good time from start to finish!”
— Entertainment Weekly

Their cross-country journey brings them face to face with a dazzling singer with dreams of stardom, who captures one of their hearts, while the other catches the eye of a wealthy suitor set on finding true love. Still under disguise, they must find a way to untangle their messes and stay alive from the gangsters hot on their tail!   

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.”

Some Like it Hot features a book by Matthew López (The Inheritance) and Amber Ruffin (“The Amber Ruffin Show”), music by Marc Shaiman and lyrics by Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman (Hairspray). The musical is based on the classic MGM film Some Like It Hot, which has been named the “Funniest American Movie of All Time” by the American Film Institute.    

With Tony-winning choreography from director Casey Nicholaw (Disney’s Aladdin, Mean Girls, The Book of Mormon), and a “a door-slamming chase sequence that brings Scooby-Doo to the stage” (New York Magazine), Some Like It Hot brings the heat.
