Disappointing show

Non stop entertainment, no slow scenes. A great story told with great humor, choreography and music! One of the most entertaining I’ve seen here!
So much talent, so much fun!!!! Our Family had an absolute blast
i particularly liked the dance routines. the person playingdaphne was my favorite. i remember the movie back in the day.
this was a very fast paced, entertaining show, full of humor, fabulous dancing, singing and acting. so glad I got to see it!!
I attended Some Like It Hot expecting a fun, classic-style musical comedy. The production is full of talent and energy, but I was disappointed in the overall content. The show includes cross-dressing and same-sex romantic themes that are a major part of the story. While some people may enjoy or connect with those elements, they do not align with our family values, and I found the material inappropriate. I noticed the show is recommended for ages 12+, but in my opinion, the themes are not suitable for children or young teens. The promotional descriptions do not clearly communicate how central these topics are, and parents may assume the show is more family-friendly than it really is. I respect that others may appreciate the show for different reasons, but it simply wasn’t a good fit for our family. If you prefer more traditional storylines or are cautious about what content you expose children to, I would recommend researching the themes carefully before purchasing tickets.
I really enjoyed the show. It was entertaining. The venue is also great.
incredible performance: dancing, singing, decoration, acting. everything was amazing
At the end of my workday on Friday I was feeling drained and exhausted. I was regretting getting tickets to see Some Like it Hot; I really just wanted to go home and kick up my feet on the couch. Needless to say, I went to see the show and turns out it was the perfect stress reliever. I laughed so much, and I fell in love with the cast. The jokes, the singing, and dancing had me in awe from beginning to end. It was amazing! Even my 15 year old who hates everything ended up loving it!
Haven’t seen this much tap dancing since 42nd Street. Ultra enjoyable and so energetic. I’d see it again in a heartbeat. Excellent beyond words and an absolute MUST SEE!!
