Occasionally, we attend a Broadway show with friends; they choose the show; (on the date of) an earlier group event we ventured instead to the South Orange Performing Arts Center in New Jersey to see Richie Furay. There was no conflict this time and all in our group agreed that everything clicked in Some Like It Hot at the Shubert Theatre. The songs, the music, the book, the individual performances, the scenery, the costumes – all exemplary.

Going in, I did not know what to expect. I saw the movie starring Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe numerous times on TV. I do not want to give away the update – perhaps modernized would be a better characterization – plot but it really fit in terms things that predominate in the dialogue of today. 2023 is certainly not 1959.

If you can, do see it.
