Amber Ruffin is transforming ‘Some Like It Hot’ into an old-fashioned, big-band romantic comedy.
There is much for both generations to enjoy. The musical takes place in the 1930s during Prohibition. Both Jerry and Sugar Kane are Black, and Sweet Sue and her Society Syncopators travel cross-country to California, not Florida, because, as Lopez and Ruffin’s book clearly states, that would not be possible at the time.
Adrianna Hicks attends "Some Like It Hot" Broadway opening night at Shubert Theatre on December 11, 2022 in New York City.this Sugar Kane is distinctly different from the bruised bombshell Monroe created, who “always got the fuzzy end of the lollipop.” Hicks’s Sugar is no victim. She may regret moments in her past, but she owns them, and she’s planning for her future—which she hopes will land her on the silver screen in Hollywood.
Finding that harmony—between earnest honesty and zany comedy, honoring the source material and reshaping it for today’s theatergoers—was a balancing act for the Ruffin-Lopez writing team, which strove to fit meaningful dialogue between chaotic chase scenes packed with tap dancing and romantic ballroom duets performed by ensembles in tuxedos and sparkling gowns.
