| Except, both The Phantom of the Opera (the novel) and The Wild Party (the poem) are both in the public domain, so there could be several versions of each. Of course, I could be wrong. But as for Sugar, both the source material land the musical are still inn copyright, so some agreement would have to have been made. I could be wrong about this, too. | |

| My guess is that MGM and/or the licensing house that controls SUGAR will clamp down on productions of SUGAR being "re-christened" SOME LIKE IT HOT: THE MUSICAL or some variation on that, as the national tour with Tony Curtis, et al was and the UK production with Tommy Steele. There will be ONE musical called SOME LIKE IT HOT and it will be this new one. As others have said, SUGAR had a top drawer creative team, but was no one's best work, despite having some terrific songs. I always wished that Kander and Ebb would have taken a crack at it, as the character of Sugar Kane is a photo negative of Sally Bowles and Roxie Hart...a character relatively successful in show business who will do almost ANYTHING to get out of it. Roxie and Sugar are actually contemporaries in Chicago before Sugar goes on the road to Miami with the band. |

| As I posted below - GONE WITH THE WIND is still under copyright - but there have been 3 musical versions - the original Harold Rome one, a French musical version, and the more recent West End musical version ... | |
