SUGAR

She Loves Me
October 7 - 29, 2005
Book by Peter Stone
Based on the Screenplay "Some Like It Hot" by Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond 
Based on a Story by Robert Thoren

Sugar is presented through special arrangement with Tams-Witmark Music Library, Inc.

Directed by Peg Major

Based on the film Some Like It Hot, Sugar chronicles the zany lives of two musicians of the prohibition era who witness a gang slaying. Forced to disguise themselves as women, they join an all-female orchestra, and the games begin! Memorable musical numbers include Penniless Bums, The Beauty That Drives Men Mad, We Could Be Close, Doin’ It for Sugar, What Do You Give (To a Man Who Has Everything?), Beautiful Through and Through and November Song. This show is both outrageous and touching.
