The story of two musicians on the run, gangsters and millionaires. On Valentine's Day 1929, two musicians, Joe and Jerry, get in the way of gangsters and have to make a quick getaway. Disguised as female musicians, they head to Florida to play with a female band to hide from the Mafia.
In the band they meet with a glamorous singer and ukulele player named Sugar, with whom the two men in women's clothes fall head over heels.
The world-famous musical, based on the screenplay for Some Like It Hot, premiered in 1972. The immortal comedy full of humour is a popular title on Czech and foreign stages. At the Moravian Theatre Olomouc, the musical Sugar will be performed after ten years directed by Mark David.
