| Why did you read Lopez's original comment as a critique or attack of the original film? Even without this additional context, it was clear he was talking about creating a story that featured POC characters, not condemning the original film. | |

| No, this forthcoming ''Some Like It Hot'' will feature a new score by Tony winners Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (''Hairspray''). But when this project was first announced, I believe Shaiman did acknowledge ''Sugar'' or Jule Styne and Bob Merrill's earlier score. I've never seen ''Sugar,'' but it does have a couple of fun and infectious songs: the title tune and ''The Beauty That Drives Men Mad.'' Robert Morse and Tony Roberts, stars of ''Sugar'' (1972), re-created the latter number for a 1999 Broadway concert at Carnegie Hall. (''Sugar'' got 4 Tony nominations, including Best Musical, and ran for over 500 shows, and Tony Curtis, as Osgood, did a tour in 2012-13.) |

| If they want to do a new take on it, why not (also perhaps) make one of the lead musicians gay and have the them fall for each other by the end? Or make Sugar be attracted to one of the ladies in the band? Or make some be bisexual (even less represented than POCs or one sex-attracted gays or lesbians in musicals!). | |
