“It’s gorgeous. We updated it to today and we have this beautiful, diverse cast and it’s just lovely,” Ruffin told Wendy Williams Show guest host Sherri Shepherd on Tuesday.
“And I can’t believe I helped write a Broadway musical.”
The original ’50 film, which starred Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe, was nominated for six Academy Awards, winning the honor for Best Costume Design.

Tickets for the show go on sale on May 2.
THE VIEW APPEARANCE
The comedian, who currently hosts the late-night talk show, The Amber Ruffin Show, on NBC and Peacock, also appeared on The View on Tuesday, where she spoke about Donald Trump and Elon Musk‘s new Twitter purchase.
“Is Elon Musk going to be the person that’s going to somehow manage misinformation? I’m not so sure about that,” co-host Sunny Hostin declared.
Ruffin joked that the Tesla founder was “absolutely not” that person because “if you have $44 billion and you use it to buy Twitter, you make bad decisions.”
The conversation then switched to the topic of the former president’s potential return to Twitter with Musk at the helm now.
“I think Trump is going to come back to Twitter, and it’s going to be horrible, but also very hilarious,” Ruffin declared.
“We forget how hilarious Trump is.”
To prove her point, Ruffin recounted a recent Trump interview where he expressed concerns about Russian President Vladimir Putin using “the n-word,” which the former president then revealed to mean nuclear weapons.
