The original movie, with its sterling script by Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond and its top-flight cast including Marilyn Monroe, Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis, could never be topped.
When it came time to try adapting Some Like It Hot for the musical stage one more time, the right artists made the right choices.
The Shaiman-Wittman score is big, bold and brassy in ways that make it feel like Broadway of old, which is a rare kind of pleasure.
In many ways, Some Like It Hot, now at San Francisco's Orpheum Theatre as part of the BroadwaySF season, is a classic Broadway musical.
