The theater schedule offers "Some Like It Hot -- The Musical," starring Tony Curtis, and a new production of "West Side Story." Also on the calendar is "Riverdance -- The Show," Gilbert & Sullivan's "H.M.S. Pinafore" and George Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess."

Curtis, who starred in more than 100 films, joined Wolf Trap's president, Terrence D. Jones, to answer questions at the National Press Club.

The "Some Like It Hot" show is based on the 1959 movie starring Curtis, Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe. Lemmon and Curtis play two musicians who have witnessed the St. Valentine's Day Massacre and must dress as women to escape being killed. The film was voted the best comedy ever by the American Film Institute. This time around, Curtis plays the millionaire who woos one of the "women."

Some of the questions were slightly bawdy -- unusual for the press club. Among other things, Curtis was asked which woman's garment was most uncomfortable. "I think the brassiere," he said. "Panties are fine."
