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.) |
