MINNEAPOLIS — "Some Like It Hot" is headed to Minneapolis as a new Broadway musical and a classic slapstick movie.
The show runs from Tuesday to Sunday and features two musicians escaping from gangsters in the 1920s.
The original movie premiered in 1959, starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. Curtis and Lemmon masquerade as female saxophone players to get away from gangsters, and get entangled in a whole new set of drama.
As the creative team brought this classic movie to 2024's stage, they updated parts of it to reflect modern times and center a message of acceptance and gender fluidity.
Edward Juvier, who plays Osgood, visited KARE 11 News at Noon to share more about the show.
