Though critical praise for the stage adaptation of Some Like It Hot may not have been red hot, it was mostly warm. Director Casey Nicholaw and writers Matthew López and Amber Ruffin's adjusted the plot and casting to feature black and non-gender binary artists, which most critics felt leant a refreshing new layer to what might otherwise have felt like a dated comedy. Full of a lot of (perhaps too much) tap, great (even if sometimes over-the-top) performances, pretty solid songs, and fabulous design, Some Like It Hot puts entertainment first sprinkled with a couple satisfying ahas on top.
