See it if Billy Wilder put this on the silver screen with Curtis, Lemmon & Monroe. This isn't that version but it's nice to see it back on Broadway
Don't see it if gangsters, crossdressing and speakeasys leave you afraid, offended or wondering why gin was ever made in bathtubs

"Audiences looking for a sugary shot of old-fashioned Broadway hooch will probably find much to satisfy here, but for all the energy expended and the talent on display, 'Some Like It Hot' eventually begins to pall, all but numbing us to its charms by the relentlessness of its insistence upon them."

"And of all Shaiman’s wonderful past musical scores, this is the one that most celebrates the big band era...the harmonics are lush and Nicholaw’s grand dancers commit to every kinetic moment. The music, at least, is red hot and jumpin’."

"This stage production boasts swell performances, dandy twists and turns, razzmatazz dancing and a whole lotta energy... If the songs by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman don’t always score high marks, well: Nobody’s perfect."

"Whatever reservations I have are far outweighed by the constant, good-natured energy, unflagging humor, and the show-stopping tap dancing that keeps everything moving at racetrack speed."
