“Some Like It Out” tap dances and kicks off in spectacular fashion at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre. The Golden Age of Hollywood brings the golden years of Pantages Theatre to breathtaking life like never before. “Some Like It Hot” is an unbeatable match to Pangages with the show’s time period setting in 1933 and the theater having opened in 1930. The unparalleled splendor could not be any more perfect.
Based on the 1959 movie of the same name starring Marilyn Monroe, the live musical adaptation updates scenarios and characterizations not only for the stage, but for modern audience tastes as well keeping topics relevant, powerful, yet still comical wrapped in vibrant choreography.
Sweet Sue (Tarra Conner Jones) decides she’s had enough of 1933 Chicago life as a singer dealing with cops during Prohibition. Going into business for herself traveling across America via train managing an all-female band. This set up becomes the ideal hiding spot for two male musicians, Joe (Matt Loehr) and Jerry (Tavis Kordell), on the run from gangster Spats (Devon Goffman) after reluctantly becoming witnesses to Spats’ murderess act.
All Joe and Jerry have to do is dress and pretend to be female musicians until the band’s final stop in San Diego where they’ll escape to Mexico. Besides trying not to get caught, only one other obstacle stands in their way in the beautifully irresistible form of lead singer Sugar (Leandra Ellis-Gaston). While Sugar’s sweet charm has caught the eyes of Joe, Jerry has unexpectedly caught the gaze of adorably wealthy San Diego hotel owner, Osgood (Edward Juvier). The delicate juggling act only gets more complicated with Spats in hot pursuit of his key murder witnesses.
“Some Like It Hot” is the big musical comedy that makes the Pantages Theatre shine even more. The matching aesthics in the architectural design is just the tip of the iceberg as the talented cast dance, dance, dance out to their heart’s content. A plethora of musical numbers takes the audience back to an era of swinging jazz, big band beats, and spirited life unable to be contained.
The dance chase sequences between doorways and byways become more and more elaborate. A big shout out and ode to that Golden Age of Hollywood musicals. As much beloved as the original movie is, the stage musical takes the male in female disguise concept to a whole new level.
If you’re aching for classical ballads and fast paced ensemble dance moves, “Some Like It Hot” has just the ticket for you. Joe and Jerry are the iconic dual not only for playing up laughs dressed as the opposite sex, but also providing approachable and accessible context of the troupe that appeases more to a contemporary audience.
The basic story beats are familiar with the production spinning a lot of originality in its characterizations to work the concept on stage able to stand on its own from its movie counterpart. Even if you’re not familiar with the movie, it is not essential viewing to enjoy the show. Musical numbers range from intimate to fantastical.
Principle characters are perfectly cast in their respective roles. Every actor knows their character inside and out. It does seem a bit jarring to have actors play characters that are musicians, but apparently pretend to play them on stage as the real instruments are played from the orchestra pit. In addition to the ensemble performing tap dancing numbers wearing dance shoes in sync with audio of tapping played.
With the exception of Joe and Jerry clearly wearing the fancy footwear. There was one other head scratcher where a newspaper headline read mobster boss seeking to find murder witnesses. Which then encourages our protagonist to precede with their scheme.
SeaWorld San Diego reaffirms its ongoing commitment to exceptional guest experiences and world-class animal care with the debut of the next evolution of its iconic Orca Encounter presentation. Presented daily, the reimagined Orca Encounter fuses immersive storytelling, personal narratives and a renewed focus on education and emotion—deepening guests’ connection to ocean conservation through the eyes of SeaWorld’s orcas, powerful ambassadors of their species.
Brought to life by SeaWorld’s animal care team, this experience offers a more personal, inspiring and educational look at orcas, their natural behaviors and the strong human-animal bonds that define their care.
“This was a true team effort,” said Blake Foster, Senior Zoological Specialist who first saw the orca presentation at SeaWorld when he was just four years old—and knew then he wanted to have a profession working with orcas. “We’ve dreamed about this for years. We started working on the new presentation in 2023, and every moment has been about deepening the connection between the orcas, us and the guests.”
The presentation varies by day, offering a rotating experience that reflects the individuality of each animal, so guests are likely to see something new in the presentation every time they visit. The orcas demonstrate natural behaviors seen in the wild – powerful breaches, hunting techniques, playful splashes and engaging enrichment sessions – encouraging the orcas to be cognitive and physically stimulated while giving guests a firsthand look at their incredible capabilities. The presentation also features dynamic video elements produced in collaboration with SeaWorld’s Entertainment team, adding depth and perspective to the conservation message.
Orca Encounter puts a spotlight on the daily routines of the orca care team, the relationships they nurture with each orca, and their commitment to animal care. The presentation also highlights the behind-the-scenes contributions of the park’s dedicated veterinary team and its orcas to critical marine science. These animals play a central role in groundbreaking research aimed at protecting endangered wild populations, including the Southern Resident killer whales of the Pacific Northwest. They have supported studies on heart rate, metabolism, hearing, and body condition via drone imagery—research partnerships, including with NOAA, that are advancing wild orca conservation science.
Veterinarian Dr. Jennifer Russell recently published groundbreaking findings using infrared imaging to measure orca blowhole temperatures, a method that may lead to non-invasive health assessments via drones for wild orcas; and the park has shared more than 20 years of veterinary data with thousands of blood tests that provide scientists with the most comprehensive baseline of healthy orca blood values to date. This kind of data is nearly impossible to collect from wild whales and is helping federal agencies better understand how to assess and intervene with sick or stranded orcas.
“Our animal care team is devoted to these animals, often spending more time with the orcas than they do with their own families,” said Eric Otjen, Vice President of Zoological Operations at SeaWorld San Diego. “This presentation is a tribute to those bonds and to the potential we have to inspire change through connection and education.”
In addition to the refreshed content, guests will notice nods to SeaWorld’s past. The orca team now wears revived nostalgic uniforms that celebrate the legacy of the park while embracing a forward-looking mission focused on conservation, education and inspiration. The park hopes each guest leaves feeling more inspired to safeguard our oceans, continue to learn more about orcas in the wild, and return again to catch a new glimpse into the world of these intelligent, dynamic marine mammals.
SeaWorld San Diego is committed to the highest standard of world class animal care, backed by more than six decades of experience, as well as accreditation by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and the Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks and Aquariums. Notably, the AZA reports that fewer than then ten percent of animal facilities licensed by the USDA in the United States have met their standards.
SeaWorld San Diego’s dedication to marine life extends beyond its parks through pioneering efforts in science, education, and welfare. Its animal care practices are Humane Certified by American Humane – a testament to the park’s unwavering commitment to animal welfare, enrichment, and veterinary care. In addition, the park collaborates closely with NOAA Fisheries and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to support marine animal research, rescue, rehabilitation, and conservation efforts.

Chance Theater, Anaheim’s official resident theater company, continues to bring to the stage impressionable and thought provoking live productions of relevant subject matters. Relatable raw human emotions that the audience can transcend through powerhouse performances and evocative design. “Spring Awakening” at the Chance Theater in Anaheim is another reflection of the creative team’s dedication to serving its community with invaluable contributions to art and humanity.
It’s 1891, passion and curiosity lead vulnerable and rebellious youth anxiously struggling to navigate stringent expectations of society overseen by domineering adults. With only each other for guidance, this group of young people navigates the rocky path of adolescence, discovering their bodies, their minds, and themselves along the way. With its fusion of morality, sexuality, indie rock score, and poetic lyrics, “Spring Awakening” delivers a beautifully necessary coming-of-age story that packs a powerful and emotional punch of radiant pain and possibility.
The design from top to bottom showcases the stunning dedication of those on and backstage. The grayscale set gives way to nooks, corridors, and shelves providing space for performers not only to act and sing, but also play live instruments. From guitars, cello, keys, and drum set, talent is spilling out from every inch of the stage. The quadruple threats can be seen, heard, and felt. The choreography begins with hand motions self discovery of the body whilst touching the mind. The progression to intimate exploration of the heart and soul. The conservative costumes become slightly relaxed and adopt muted colors as life unfolds.
The story between adult and youth craft the imbalance of over protection and denial of truth. The shield designed to protect morphs into a wall to keep away knowledge. How is the younger generation to learn and grow without wisdom passed on. The hungry mind thirsty to soak up the world. The outcome of the young a reflection of the adults who let the children starve and to fend for themselves. Hardly ever questioning to blame themselves for whatever teachings they spared.
The mesmerizing vocals genuine and heartfelt in the void of their tearful ode. The sentimental power of “Rent” meets with the hopeless romanticism of “Hadestown”. “Spring Awakening” is a masterpiece mainstay for theater lovers and theater goers. A pinnacle watch and listen for both young and old. The story and songs will continue to breath into the soul throughout time.
The cast features Cordyon Melgoza as Melchior, Hayley Stallings as Wendla, Brody Tarrant Sitton as Moritz, Isabella Kaplan as Ilse, Emma Magbanua as Martha, Diego Huerta-Gutierrez as Ernst, Caiden Falstrup-Finney as Hanschen, Jack Thomas Aitken as Georg, Linda Bard as Thea, Jaylen Baham as Otto, Naya Ramsey-Clarke as Anna, Erica Farnsworth as Adult Woman, and James Michael McHale as Adult Man.
