Some Like It Hot has set a closing date for its Broadway run. The final performance of the musical, based on the 1959 film written and directed by Billy Wilder, will be December 30. At closing, it will have played 483 performances.

The show officially opened December 11, 2022 at the Shubert Theatre after previews beginning November 1.

Nominated for 13 Tony Awards for 2022, the musical took home four trophies: Casey Nicholaw for Best Choreography, Charlie Rosen and Bryan Carter for Best Orchestrations, Gregg Barnes for Best Costumes in a Musical, and J. Harrison Ghee for Best Lead Actor in a Musical. Ghee made history alongside Alex Newell (who won Best Featured Actor in a Musical for Shucked), becoming the first openly non-binary performers to win the top Broadway honor.

A national tour will launch in September 2024 and a West End production will follow in 2025.
