THE
PLOT
When
two itinerant musicians Joe and Jerry, accidentally
witness the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, they flee
Chicago on a southbound train to Miami under the guise
of Josephine and Daphne, the two newest and homeliest
members of an all girl jazz band.
Spats
Palazza, having exhausted his search for his two witnesses
in Chicago, also decides to go to Miami and boards the
same train as the band. In an elaborate series of gender
bending ruses, both Joe and Jerry fall in love with
Sugar Kane, the band's singer. In Miami, Osgood Fielding,
an eccentric marrying-millionaire, falls in love and
proposes marriage to Daphne. Joe disguises himself as
an heir to Shell Oil to pursue Sugar. The gangsters,
having discovered their true identity, are in hot pursuit
of our heroes, who need to escape quickly.
Daphne
agrees to accept Osgood's proposal, with Josephine going
along as the maid-of-honor. When Joe reveals his true
identity to Sugar, she realizes she is still smitten
and joins them on Osgood's yacht.
Despite
all Jerry's protestations against Osgood, including
he's not a natural blonde, he has a terrible past and
for three years he's been living with a saxophone player,
he can never have children and then finally revealing
the fact that he is a man, the show ends with Joe E.
Brown's famous punch line, "Well nobody's perfect..."
...and
a superb musical and dance finale of "Some Like
It Hot" with the entire cast.
