Mariah Carey is set to make her Broadway debut co-producing 'Some Like It Hot.'
with music by Marc Shaiman, lyrics by Scott Wittman and Shaiman, and direction and choreography by Casey Nicholaw.
Like the film, the musical tells the story of two musicians – Joe and Jerry – who flee to Chicago after witnessing a mob hit during the Prohibition era. In an attempt to hide in plain sight, the two disguise themselves as two female members of a traveling big band. While trying to avoid the mob, the two fall for Sugar and start competing for her affection.
The show stars Christian Borle as Joe, J. Harrison Ghee as Jerry and Adrianna Hicks as Sugar, the lead roles first originated onscreen by Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and Monroe. The rest of the cast includes Kevin Del Aguila as Osgood, NaTasha Yvette Williams as Sweet Sue, Adam Heller as Mulligan, Mark Lotito as Spats, and Angie Schworer as Minnie.
While speaking to ET, Ruffin shared why she got involved in the adaptation, which comes over 60 years after the film's initial release."I really wanted to see how far we can push things there. I, also, am eager to learn Broadway, and the difference between Broadway and regular stage [shows] and, you know, the type of stuff I do and where the overlap is," she said."It's just really exciting.
