Set in Chicago during Prohibition when jazz music was all the rage, "Some Like It Hot" draws similarities to another famous Broadway show, Chicago. Jazz elements fill the entire show as the main characters, Joe and Jerry, are struggling musicians trying to survive on speakeasy gigs. Their lives face a comical turn wrench when they witness a gangster committing a crime in their mob-controlled speakeasy and need to begin cross-dressing to protect their identities as new criminal targets.
Joe reinvents himself as Josephine, while Jerry transforms into Daphne and the two join an women-only swing band. The band's singer Sugar Kane becomes a integral part of their story as the two men hope to woo her without getting caught. The growth each character tests their strengths and teaches them surprising lessons about themselves.
