Sugar is a 1972 musical with a book by Peter Stone, music by Jule Styne, and lyrics by Bob Merrill. The musical is based on the 1959 film Some Like It Hot, which was adapted by Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond from a story by Robert Thoeren and Michael Logan.
For the original production, the show was titled Sugar referring to the lead female character, due to producer David Merrick being unable to license the title. However in later versions, the show was performed as Some Like It Hot. Tony Curtis performed in a 2002 national tour, playing Osgood Fielding. In 2022, a new version of the story unrelated to Sugar opened on Broadway.
CD 1: The Original Album Mix
CD 2: New Remixed Version
Remixing this score was a particular joy. Suddenly we were hearing wonderful orchestral details we'd never heard before - we placed the instruments a little differently in the soundstage for optimum clarity, and the vocals sound much more present and are no longer occasionally getting beaten up by the band the way they were in the original. So we hope it will be fun to hear this alternate mix with a lot less artificial processing - we think it gives the score a whole new vibrancy and vitality as well as crystal clarity.
This release was limited to 1000 copies only.
