Some Like It Hot Heats Up Richmond: The Award-Winning Broadway Musical Comes to Altria Theater.
From June 3 to 8, 2025, Richmond’s Altria Theater will light up with the dazzling energy of Some Like It Hot — a musical comedy sensation that has taken Broadway by storm and is now making its way to Virginia for a limited engagement.
Based on the iconic 1959 film, this electrifying stage adaptation has been called “a super-sized, all-out song-and-dance spectacular!” by The New York Times. And for good reason: it’s the winner of 4 Tony Awards®, including Best Choreography and Best Costumes, and took home the Grammy® for Best Musical Theater Album.
A Story Full of Laughs, Heart, and Tap-Dancing Escapes
Set in Prohibition-era Chicago, the story follows two musicians who witness a mob hit and must flee the city — disguised and on the run — aboard a cross-country train. With gangsters close behind, what unfolds is a wildly entertaining and life-changing adventure packed with humor, heart, and unforgettable musical numbers.
A Season Standout
Some Like It Hot dominated its season, earning more theater awards than any other show. It was named Best Musical by the Drama Desk, The Drama League, and the Outer Critics Circle. Deadline praised it as “a tap-dancing, razzle-dazzling embrace of everything you love about musical theater,” while the Associated Press called it “glorious, big, high-kicking.”
