Yet another man-in-a-dress musical.
Christian Borle and J. Harrison Ghee become Josephine and Daphne, respectively, in"Some Like It Hot" on Broadway.The wobbly quality of the new Broadway musical “Some Like It Hot,” which opened Sunday night at the Shubert Theatre, is made much more obvious by the indisputable greatness of its source material.Two hour and 30 minutes, with one intermission. At the Shubert Theatre, 225 W 44th Street.
The repetitive songs by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman gnaw on the ears, there aren’t enough big laughs in Matthew Lopez and Amber Ruffin’s book and the revised ending, in which a character questions their gender identity, feels neither honest nor natural, but as if it’s been exhaustively focus-grouped to avoid Twitter backlash.
Ghee, full of charisma, fares better as Daphne. The actor has a more emotional storyline than an uproarious one and their big number “You Could’ve Knocked Me Over With a Feather” is expressive and exciting, even if it sounds a lot like “Big, Blonde and Beautiful” from Shaiman and Wittman’s “Hairspray.” On board the train, the duo meet Sugar Cane , the Syncopators’ singer, and womanizing Joe struggles to tamp down his libido while in drag.
