Dionne Warwick was among the VIPs who stepped out over the weekend for a special preview performance of the hot new musical Some Like It Hot!

The legendary songwriter joined the show’s creators for the event on Friday (November 18) at the Shubert Theatre in New York City.

The guests were treated to a pre-show cocktail party with co-book writer Amber Ruffin, composers Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, and director and choreographer Casey Nicholaw.

Special guests included Tony Danza, Zac Posen and fiance Harrison Ball, Noma Dumezweni, Renee Fleming, Gina Gershon, Candace Bushnell, Erich Bergen, Dominic Fumusa, Jonathan Fernandez, Daniel Benedict and Cinema Society founder Andrew Saffir.

Set in Chicago when Prohibition has everyone thirsty for a little excitement, Some Like It Hot is the rollicking story of two musicians forced to flee the Windy City after witnessing a mob hit. With gangsters hot on their heels, they’re on the run as the newest members of the swingingest big band ever to cross the country. Can they hide in plain sight without completely losing themselves? Or will the mob, the truth, and maybe even love itself finally catch up to them?

The musical is based on the classic MGM film of the same name!

The hit Broadway musical Monty Python’s Spamalot is getting the movie treatment and it will likely be made in the near future!

Paramount Pictures has acquired the rights to the musical and Monty Python troupe member Eric Idle has written the script to the film. Casey Nicholaw, who choreographed the Tony-winning musical when it was on Broadway, is attached to direct.

Spamalot is an adaptation of the 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Idle will produce the film alongside Oscar-winning producer Dan Jinks, who is also working on a new film adaptation of the beloved musical Fiddler on the Roof right now.

Tim Curry, David Hyde Pierce, and Hank Azaria led the cast of the Broadway version of Spamalot back in 2005. The show also launched Sara Ramirez‘s career after winning a Tony Award for the production.

Deadline reports that the “plan is to move right to casting and get underway this year.”

Tina Fey is all smiles as she strikes a pose with her hubby Jeff Richmond and their creative team Nell Benjamin and Casey Nicholaw at the Mean Girls Musical: Broadway Cast Meet & Greet held at The New 42nd Street Studios on Thursday (February 22) in New York City.

Over 14 years after the movie’s debut, the musical version of the hit movie will finally debut on Broadway on April 8, 2018 at the August Wilson Theater.

Tina and the team were joined at the event by the stars of the show: Taylor Louderman (Regina George), Kate Rockwell (Karen Smith), Ashley Park (Gretchen Wieners), Erika Henningsen (Cady Heron), and Kerry Butler (Ms. Norbury), as well as Kyle Selig, Rick Younger, Barrett Wilbert Weed, Cheech Manohar and Grey Henson.
