The Story of Some Like It Hot
The show has its origination in the early 1930s just ahead of the end of the Prohibition era. Two male jazz musicians, Joe and Jerry, witness a mobster commit a crime at the Speakeasy where they’re performing. Rather than have the mobster to put out a hit on them, the musicians decide to go on the run.
They put on women’s clothing and join a touring all-girl swing big band called Sweet Sue and the Society Syncopators. While touring, the two fall in love with the band’s singer, Sugar Kane. They must keep their true identities hidden, but they both hope to find romance Sugar Kane.
Whilst touring, romances form that threaten to expose Joe and Jerry as men. The mob and the FBI get involved, realizing Jerry and Joe from their tap-dancing routines. Which further complicating the groups touring to performances and its ability to find new investors.
Jerry, now identifying as Daphne, falls in love with one of the investors, leading to a planned wedding. Eventually, true identities becomes known, but none of the characters let that change their feelings for each other. As Prohibition comes to an end, everyone is able to move on with their new lives.
