SUGAR. Some Like It Hot

A jazzy retro musical adaptation of Some Like It Hot by Peter Stone and Jule Styne.

SUGAR. Džiaze tik merginos brings the legendary 1959 film's plot to the musical stage, following two jazz musicians who disguise themselves as women and join an all-female orchestra to escape Chicago gangsters. Based on the book by Peter Stone with music by Jule Styne and lyrics by Bob Merrill, this two-act production features theatre soloists, choir, ballet artists, and the theatre orchestra.

The production combines retro-colored satire of pre-war America's criminal underworld with jazz traditions of the 1950s and 1960s. Audiences follow the ensuing chaos as the disguised musicians navigate the women's orchestra and cross paths with the singer Sugar Kein, offering an energetic blend of theatrical performance, live orchestral music, and choreography.
