SOME LIKE IT HOT#125

Much like political elections, while the screamers on Twitter are indeed the loudest, they are not representative of the majority. Tootsie and Mrs. Doubtfire didn't/won't fail because they use a transphobic trope, they weren't good shows, worst of which were/are their scores. (Doubtfire, to be fair hasn't failed yet and I'd bet the Summer tourist crowd will give it a bit of a boost, so we'll see.) That said, the trope can indeed be harmful to trans people and context is everything, so they don't get a pass until we see it.
On that same token, has everyone also forgotten that it's getting an entirely new book? You don't even know what they've updated, taken out, etc. So some of you are either clairvoyant or you're just stamping your feet to strangers on the internet because your virtue signaling satisfies some need for attention you don't get elsewhere. Chill, you actually don't know what you're talking about when it comes to content other than what you know of the film which may or may not have been completely overhauled for the stage show. I would imagine Matthew Lopez and Amber Ruffin have a bit of a different perspective than the original screenwriter.

Hi - I started another thread on Some Like It Hot after I saw the Open Rehearsal.
I thought it was amazing and stated that J. Harrison Ghee should win a Tony award.
All of the bickering about Tootsie and Mrs. Doubtfire is nonsense. They were fine but not very good.
Some Like It Hot was great. The "Osgood" character is really well developed with several songs and J. Harrison Ghee steals the show.
If anything, Christian Borle could use another number to sharpen his starring role.
I'm not an industry person - just someone who loves musical theater and who has raised my children to love it too.

YES!!!
This cast, this creative team, this song… CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS!
Also I - like many others, I’m sure - would die for Christian Borle.

Oh, this sounds GREAT. A genuine Marc Shaiman score in its highest form plus this cast is beyond fantastic. I feel this could be THE next big Broadway hit next season.

Glad we are getting more original scores this season. And they'll all be of different varieties between this, Kimberly Akimbo, K-Pop, Almost Famous...

In reply to some of the posts on the previous page I never found 'the man in a dress' funny. In fact rather the opposite of funny. A total turn off. It would take some powerful comedy writing to change my mind. 'Tootsie' (the movie) did. 'Some Like It Hot' (the movie) did. 'Sugar', the previous and first stage musical incarnation of 'Some Like it Hot' with Robert Morse might have. But if that's all they're selling with this I think it will be a big mistake. 'Woke' violations won't even enter into it.

To say that you've NEVER found a certain idea "funny", and then immediately list 3 instances (okay, 2 1/2) where you DID find it funny is sorta ridiculous, don't ya think?

Big Twist? Is someone going to get a botched operation? No Tony Awards except for Christian Borle, who will decline the nominatiion to stand with the "egregiously overlooked"? Or will Liza Minnelli come back to cover Adrianna Hicks' vacation? ahahahaha

Just wanted to post this here, and not create a new thread but there was a really interesting piece in the New York Times via this morning's Broadway Briefing that talks about the idea of "man in a dress" with many different contributors (including Harvey Fierstein, L Morgan Lee, Charles Busch, J Harrison Ghee, Angelia Ross, and more)

The new song sounds like "They Just Keep Moving the Line" + "Lost and Found (City of Angels)"

I enjoyed the song & performance & orchestration. But yes, it increasingly seems that SMASH and CATCH ME were the pinnacles of Shaiman & Wittman's songwriting prowess, and a lot of things since then feel derivative of those shows.
But still, give me their songs over many other composers!
