Review: SOME LIKE IT HOT Sizzles and Shakes at Dr. Phillips Center
by Albert Gutierrez - Dec 19, 2024


When SOME LIKE IT HOT began on Broadway, it was celebrated for updating a classic film to modern audiences in ways and themes not readily apparent from the original source material.

Review: SOME LIKE IT HOT at Belk Theater

Director Casey Nicholaw's high-heel tap choreography further assures high energy all evening long.
