I have seen the movie version of Some Like It Hot, with Marilyn Monroe, but have never seen the musical, so I'm excited that it's coming to the Fisher this fall.

About the show:
Broadway In Detroit announced today that single tickets for the upcoming engagement of SOME LIKE IT HOT, the “Super-Sized, All-Out Song-And-Dance Spectacular!” (The New York Times), coming to Detroit will go on sale Friday, June 21. Tickets will be available online at BroadwayInDetroit.com at 10:00 a.m. and at the Fisher Theatre box office starting at Noon.

Set in Chicago when Prohibition has everyone thirsty for a little excitement, SOME LIKE IT HOT is the “glorious, big, high-kicking” (Associated Press) story of two musicians forced to flee the Windy City after witnessing a mob hit. With gangsters hot on their heels, they catch a cross-country train for the life-chasing, life-changing trip of a lifetime.

And what a trip it is! With its irresistible combination of heart and laughs, song and dance, SOME LIKE IT HOT won more theater awards than any show in its season, and was named Best Musical by the Drama Desk, The Drama League, and the Outer Critics Circle. No wonder Deadline calls it “a tap-dancing, razzle-dazzling embrace of everything you love about musical theater.”

*Disclosure: I received a gift card to try the new Polar Pizza at Baskin-Robbins. The opinions expressed here, however, are my own. Baskin-Robbins launched its Polar Pizza last month (July), as I talked about in my recent post about them, and because this past month was crazy busy for me, I didn't get to try the Polar Pizza until this past Sunday. My parents and I went to the combined Dunkin' Donuts / Baskin-Robbins near them, in Novi, MI, to split one of the ice cream pizzas.
