See it if you like old fashioned musicals with big dance numbers and a joke-filled book (updated to reflect current values). Strong performances.
Don't see it if you want to hear all the lyrics (over-mic'ed!). It's long (2.75 hrs). Maybe cut 2 songs and part of lg chase scene? Still, fun, fun, fun!!

"What 'Some Like It Hot' lacks in depth, though, it makes up for in shinier musical-theater pleasures. You’ll leave this show with a smile on your face...There’s a whole lot to like."

"This new production knows it has to ultimately come back to the comedy. Even as a musical, the comedy comes first and everyone involved seems to understand that, making the entire show move like Jell-O on springs."

"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."
