«Some Like It Hot» (KATMK)

A delightful musical comedy about the fact that in jazz… it’s not only girls who play. And when that’s the case, it’s the music that sets the rhythm of everything - on stage and in life. It enchants, throws you into extreme situations, travels through personalities, compels its will, and plunges everyone into hilarious moments - sometimes tearful, sometimes ecstatic.
Welcome to Chicago, 1929. Two jazz musicians, saxophonist Joe and double bassist Jerry, unwittingly witness a mob hit carried out by the notorious gangster Colombo, better known as «Spats» (White Spats). To escape the gangsters’ wrath, the two try to join a touring jazz orchestra - only to discover it’s an all-female band. With no other option, they disguise themselves as women and join the group under the names Josephine and Daphne.

On tour in a sunny Florida resort town, the orchestra’s lead singer, the sweet and charming Sugar, performs alongside them. Joe quickly falls for her and, switching between his disguises - suave millionaire Junior and his «girlfriend» Josephine - he attempts to win her affection. Meanwhile, elderly millionaire Osgood Fielding falls head over heels for Daphne - a.k.a. Jerry - convinced he’s found the woman of his dreams.
As the love affairs spiral into comic chaos, the two musicians don’t realize their gangster enemies are also in town. A violent mob showdown unfolds right at the resort, and only by a miracle do Joe and Jerry escape with their lives. At the end, the truth behind the masquerade is revealed in spectacular fashion.
This sparkling musical offers cheeky humour, flirtatious twists, racy situations, energetic choreography, and near-gangster-level antics - all wrapped in the timeless charm of Some Like It Hot.
