a musical comedy

The musical was created on the basis of the legendary film Some Like It Hot starring Marilyn Monroe. It seems unbelievable but this film was shown for the first time fifty years ago, in 1959. The musical of the same name then celebrated unusual success all over the world; in December 2008 it was also brought to the City Theatre in Slovenian Ljubljana by director Stanislav Moša, and it is he who will now be involved in directing this production at our theatre.
Two poor musicians accidentally get involved in a war between mafia gangs. They are hunted and have no other option but to seek safety by going into hiding. They dress in women’s clothing and find employment in a band which is leaving for a tour to Miami Beach. For the forsaken musicians, Florida becomes a great opportunity to disappear from the eyes of the mafia… However, their crazy adventure is far from over! They experience a great many comical situations and on top of that, both our heroes fall in love with a charming singer and ukulele player called Sugar. And as if this all wasn’t enough, an elderly millionaire asks one of our charming musicians in women’s clothing to marry him…
