Embarking on a girls’ trip to New York City is always an exciting adventure, but when it coincides with your best friend’s birthday, it becomes an unforgettable experience. To make this occasion truly special, we decided to indulge in the magic of Broadway and catch the Tony Award Winning highly acclaimed production of Some Like it Hot. With a stellar cast, this show promised to be an absolute treat. Little did we know that it would exceed all our expectations.
The Unforgettable Performance:
As the show began, we were immediately captivated by the energy and charisma of J. Harrison Ghee in the role of Jerry. Ghee’s impeccable comedic timing and effortless stage presence brought the character to life in a way that left the audience in awe. From their impeccable dance moves to their pitch-perfect delivery of witty one-liners, Ghee’s performance was nothing short of extraordinary. It was evident that they had poured their heart and soul into the role, leaving an indelible mark on the production.
Supporting Cast Excellence:
While Ghee’s performance stole the show, the rest of the cast also delivered exceptional performances. Tony Award winner Christian Borle showcased his versatility as Joe, transitioning between the various facets of his character. Adrianna Hicks, portraying Sugar, brought a delightful charm and vulnerability to her role, capturing the hearts of the audience. Kevin Del Aguila’s portrayal of Osgood was a delightful joy, injecting the show with a dose of humor and warmth. NaTasha Yvette Williams just dazzles with her vocal prowess as Sweet Sue , Adam Heller, and Mark Lotito, in their respective roles, added depth and richness to the overall production.
The Closing of a Chapter:
It is with a heavy heart that we learned of the show’s impending closure on December 30th, 2023. Some Like it Hot has undoubtedly left a mark on our Birthday Broadway experience, and it is a production that I wish I could see again. The exceptional performances, the vibrant choreography, and the infectious energy of the show will forever be etched in our memories. Definitely a must see for this Holiday Season.

Our girls’ trip to New York City, celebrating my best friend’s birthday, was made all the more memorable by the incredible production of Some Like it Hot on Broadway. J. Harrison Ghee’s exceptional performance as Jerry, alongside the talented cast, transported us into a world of laughter, music, and pure entertainment.
