Broadway Hits and Interactive Art: What's On in Boston Today
Broadway Magic at Citizens Bank Opera House
Tonight, the stage at the Citizens Bank Opera House comes alive with the glitz and glamour of the Tony Award-winning musical Some Like It Hot. This high-energy production, based on the classic 1959 MGM film, begins its evening performance at 7:00 PM. Set in the Prohibition era, the show follows two musicians who flee Chicago after witnessing a mob hit, disguised as members of an all-female swing band. Expect dazzling choreography, big-band numbers, and a story about finding yourself in the most unexpected places. It is a perfect way to spend a Tuesday evening in the heart of the Theatre District.
