In the musical's biggest departure, Jerry as Daphne realizes, "Daphne is the best part of me." What started as a lifesaving disguise becomes a permanent identity.
"Some Like It Hot" seeks to trumpet the delights of the original while finding contemporary analogs for its gender humor, all while providing jazzy throwback numbers.
It's a lovely sentiment in Matthew López and Amber Ruffin's book, and the opening night crowd cheered along with each of Daphne's affirmations.
The overall effect is of a musical uneasily straddling revamp and novelty, creating a world that’s a mix of Depression-era realities and untouched fantasies.
