Tavis Kordell plays Jerry/Daphne in 'Some Like It Hot," which comes to David A. Straz Center for the Performing Arts in Tampa, Florida Dec. 11-15, 2024.

Alert the governor! Lock up your babies! "Some Like It Hot"—which comes to downtown Tampa this winter—will feature (gasp) MEN IN DRESSES!

The production is about two musicians who escape from the mob by disguising themselves as women and joining an all-girl band! Sure, it’s based on one of the funniest movies of all time and it was a huge, Tony-winning hit on Broadway, but those New York audiences are, of course, depraved. (That commie rag the New York Times called it “flat-out entertainment.”)

So send out your sad-faced cultural warriors to picket the damn thing. Meanwhile, the rest of us will try to get tickets. (The book is by USF theater grad Matthew López, so we gotta support our Bulls!)

Tickets for "Some Like It Hot" coming to Carol Morsani Hall at Tampa's David A. Straz Center for the Performing Arts Wednesday-Sunday, Dec. 11-15 are priced dynamically and available now.
