Some Like It Hot

At MS343, we offer students as many opportunities as possible to experience what the city has to offer. We've partnered with Situation Project to help students access a variety of cultural experiences. On March 1st, select 7th and 8th graders were invited to travel downtown to Broadway to see Some Like It Hot, an exciting "life-chasing, life-changing trip of a lifetime" musical set in prohibition-era Chicago. Students loved the old-Broadway choreography, music, and costumes. Check out some photos of the day below, most of which were captured by our own student photographers Stephanie Monsanto and Aleise Borrero!
