About this Event
Some Like It Hot: A Musical Tribute to Marilyn Monroe is a spellbinding cabaret journey into the glittering, complicated world of one of Hollywood’s most enduring icons.
Through rich storytelling and unforgettable song, Karla Adele invites audiences behind the platinum-blonde persona to explore Marilyn’s meteoric rise, her private heartbreaks, and the legacy that still captivates the world today. Featuring timeless classics including Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend, I Wanna Be Loved by You, and My Heart Belongs to Daddy, the show weaves sultry jazz, tender ballads, and cinematic flair into an evening that is as glamorous as it is deeply human.
Step into a world of old Hollywood sparkle, where lush live arrangements and stunning vocals bring Marilyn’s most iconic moments to life. Karla and her band capture the allure, vulnerability, and magnetism of a woman who defined an era — and paid the price for it.
Beyond the beauty and fame lies a story of longing: a woman searching for love, fighting to be respected, and yearning to be seen as more than an image. With elegance, warmth, and emotional honesty, Karla Adele honours Marilyn’s artistry, resilience, and quiet strength, reminding us why her story still resonates decades on.
“I wanted to celebrate the woman behind the icon — her vulnerability, her strength, and her struggle to be taken seriously as an artist,” says Karla.
An intimate, moving, and glamorous tribute that reveals the heart behind Hollywood’s brightest star.
