Volvemos con otro musical basado en una película de Billy Wilder: ”Some like it hot”, estrenada en España como “Con faldas y a lo loco”. Una obra maestro del cine que se ha adaptado a musical en dos ocasiones, en el año 1972 con el título de “Sugar” con música de Jule Styne y otra en 2022, que es la que vamos a tratar en este podcast, con música de Marc Shaiman y un nuevo libreto que estoy seguro que Billy Wilder, autor del guion para la película, hubiese aplaudido de haber podido verlo en escena, pero de eso ya lo comentamos al final del podcast. Vamos a viajar en el tiempo hasta los violentos años 30 en la turbulenta Chicago para embarcarnos con una orquesta de señoritas, en una historia divertida que es a la vez un viaje interior acompañados de un buen puñado de canciones. En el reparto tenemos a Christian Borle como Joe en el papel que en cine hizo Tony Curtis, que a su vez es Josephine cuando se viste de mujer y también es Kip cuando se hace pasar por un guionista. J. Harrison Ghee es Jerry, el negro amigo de Joe, papel que en cine hizo Jack Lemmon, que también interpreta a Daphne cuando se viste de mujer. Adriana Hicks es Sugar la vocalista de color que interpreta el papel que en cine hizo Marilyn Monroe.

UNICEF invited Alyssa, in 2003, to become a National Ambassador, recognizing her charitable work on behalf of children.  Her first trip with the organization was to Angola, Africa (May 2004) to see first-hand the issues plaguing the newly liberated country.  Alyssa followed that trip with a visit to India in June 2005.  She is currently working with UNICEF to educate American youth to the issues crucial to that country's evolution.  She has worked on UNICEF's pivotal “Trick or Treat” campaign as an official spokesperson, and has plans to work with UNICEF on numerous projects in the future. International relief work is not new to the actress. Alyssa hosted a photography exhibition and auction in 2002, in Los Angeles raising money for charitable efforts in South Africa.  An avid photographer, Alyssa displayed her own work, as well as that of school children from L.A.'s Venice Arts program.  The event raised close to $50,000 for Nkosi's Haven, an organization that runs care centers in South Africa for AIDS-afflicted mothers and children. Alyssa was honored for her efforts with a humanitarian award from Sri Chinmoy: The Peace Meditation at the United Nations.  It was this work that got the attention of UNICEF executives.The Global Network for Neglected Tropical Disease Control (GNNTDC), an alliance of international partnerships based at the Sabin Vaccine Institute in Washington D.C. and formalized by the Clinton Global Initiative to lead the global effort to treat, control and eliminate neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) in the world's poorest countries recently named Alyssa the organization's founding ambassador.
