PNC Broadway Opens ‘Some Like it Hot’ at the Benedum (Tues., 4/15/25)

SOME LIKE IT HOT by Amber Ruffin and Matthew López, and music by Marc Shaiman. Touring company, presented by PNC Broadway in Pittsburgh. April 15 – 20.

Based on the 1959 movie starring Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, and Marilyn Monroe, the musical stage production of Some Like It Hot was written for Broadway by Matthew López (The Inheritance) and Amber Ruffin (Late Night with Seth Meyers, Amber Ruffin Show) with music by Marc Shaiman (SNL, Hairspray), and “additional material” created by Pittsburgh’s own Christian Borle (who earned a Tony nomination for Best Actor in a Musical when the show opened on Broadway in 2022). The story follows the escape of two jazz musicians who have witnessed a gangland murder in Prohibition-era Chicago. The male leads, here played by Matt Loehr and Tavis Kordell, disguise themselves as members of an all-female band, jumping on a train to dodge the pursuit of mobsters covering their tracks. And speaking of tracks, the show features a whopping 18 dance numbers and show stoppers for which it won a Tony (among other awards) for Best Choreography. Now on tour, experience this “all-out, song-and dance spectacular” when its train pulls into the station at Benedum Center. 7:30 p.m. 237 7th St., Cultural District. (C.P.O.)
