Synopsis

Two musicians who witness the St. Valentine's Day Massacre in 1929 disguise themselves as women who play in an all-girl band to avoid gangsters. One falls for the band's sexy lead singer, while the other is pursued by an eccentric millionaire, in Jule Styne, Bob Merrill and Peter Stone's musical adaptation of the 1959 film comedy Some Like It Hot.
