Adapted from the hilarious screen success Some Like It Hot, Sugar recreates the same memorable Jack Lemon, Tony Curtis, Marilyn Monroe classic characters of Jerry, Joe, and Sugar. This prohibition era, zany musical farce romps from Chicago to Miami, promising gangster chases, train rides, boat rides, cross-dressing, confused proposals, millionaires, and starving musicians. Truly a ride worth reserving!

Jean-Francois Millet, a young painter of genius, is in love with Marie Leroux but in debt to a villainous picture-dealer, Bastien Andre. Andre forecloses on Millet, threatening debtor's prison unless Marie marries him. Millet realizes that the only way he can pay his debts and keep Marie from marrying Andre is to die, as it is only dead painters who achieve fame and fortune. Millet fakes his death and prospers, all while passing himself off as his own sister, the Widow Tillou. Now a rich "widow," he must find a way to get out of a dress, return to life, and marry Marie.
Don't miss this hilarious unburied gem by Mark Twain, brought to life in a new adaptation by David Ives.
