Billy Wilder’s classic movie has moved to the big stage.
MINNEAPOLIS — “Some Like It Hot” is headed to Minneapolis as a new Broadway musical and a classic slapstick movie.
The show runs from Tuesday to Sunday and features two musicians escaping from gangsters in the 1920s.
The original movie premiered in 1959, starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. Curtis and Lemmon masquerade as female saxophone players to get away from gangsters, and get entangled in a whole new set of drama.
As the creative team brought this classic movie to 2024’s stage, they updated parts of it to reflect modern times and center a message of acceptance and gender fluidity.
Edward Juvier, who plays Osgood, visited KARE 11 News at Noon to share more about the show.

Backyard surveillance video catches the moment a 4-year-old is seen running away from a coyote chasing close behind her.
PORTLAND, Ore. — Surveillance video catches a 4-year-old running away in fear of a coyote chasing close behind her in a Northeast Portland backyard.
“Dad, there’s a coyote,” the child said while running.
Her dad, initially with his back turned, said “no” and then after seeing the coyote, yells “oh, (expletive)! Holy (expletive)!” and chased after it.
The 4-year-old jumps on a child picnic table in the backyard to get away. The coyote appears to pause for a second near the picnic before making its escape. The father, a Vancouver firefighter, quickly picks her up to get out of the backyard.
“There’s a coyote,” said Charlie Schmidt, the father. “There’s a coyote! Quickly get inside!
Videos from security cameras around then show the coyote then run toward other children before running away.
Schmidt told KGW it’s not uncommon to see coyotes around the neighborhood. Though, he’d never seen anything like this.
“I was happy that nothing happened but little scared that it was chasing them,” he said. “That seems a little abnormal for their behavior.”
As part of National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, MACC will hold a “Clear the Shelter” event on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 25 and 26.
MINNEAPOLIS — October is National Adopt A Shelter Dog Month, a designation to highlight the number of four-legged friends who are available and longing for a loving family to call their own.
Minneapolis Animal Care & Control (MACC) is celebrating with a two-day “Clear the Shelter” event on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 25 (1 p.m. to 5 p.m.) and Oct. 26 (11 a.m. to 3 p.m.), where adoption fees will be waived for all members of the community.
Shelter officials say the facility is currently at maximum capacity. A $4,000 grant from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) through the Subaru Loves Pets initiative will allow MACC to cover adoption fees.
Those adopting dogs during the event will still have to cover Minneapolis licensing fees.
“Often we see that these fees stand as barriers for people to pick up their pets that have been brought into our shelter,” said Madison Weissenborn, MACC volunteer and outreach coordinator. “We’re so appreciative of these two grants that give our community support to bring their beloved pets home. Opportunities like these mean more families get to experience the joys of pet ownership.”
In addition to the adoption event, the Best Friends Society recently awarded MACC $10,000 that is designated to forgive first-time impound fees (up to $85) to help impounded dogs and cats reunite with owners who might not be able to cover the fees.
