"Sugar" is a musical comedy based on the classic movie "Some Like It Hot." The story follows two male musicians, Jerry and Joe, who witness a gangland massacre and flee the city disguised as women in an all-female band. Jerry falls in love with the band's singer, Sugar, who is unaware of his true identity. Meanwhile, Joe assumes the persona of a millionaire to seduce Sugar himself. The plot thickens when the gangsters catch up with the band, and the two men must fight to keep their true identities hidden.

The musical features a score by Jule Styne, with lyrics by Bob Merrill. The show premiered on Broadway in 1972 and starred Robert Morse as Jerry, Tony Roberts as Joe, and Elaine Joyce as Sugar. The show was a hit with audiences and critics alike, receiving four Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical.

The musical has since been revived several times, including a 1992 London production starring Tommy Steele and a 2010 Broadway revival starring Laura Bell Bundy as Sugar. The show's catchy songs, hilarious plot, and iconic characters continue to delight audiences around the world.
