Christian Borleis coming back to Broadway.

Joining Borle, who will play Joe/Josephine, in the cast are J. Harrison Ghee as Jerry/Daphne, Adrianna Hicks as Sugar, Kevin Del Aguila as Osgood, NaTasha Yvette Williams as Sweet Sue, Adam Heller as Mulligan and Mark Lotito as Spats.

Some Like It Hot, according to a press release for the show, “is the rollicking story of two musicians forced to flee the Windy City after witnessing a mob hit. With gangsters hot on their heels, they’re on the run as the newest members of the swingingest big band ever to cross the country. Can they hide in plain sight without completely losing themselves? Or will the mob, the truth, and maybe even love itself finally catch up to them?”

“It is an exciting proposition to create a show with characters whose race is instrumental and not incidental to the story,” playwright López said last year, according to the publication. “It became apparent to me that if we were to honor our commitment to tell that story with honesty and integrity, it required a Black creative voice on the team. It didn’t take long for all of us to agree that Amber [Ruffin] was the person to approach.”
