Dirty
Rotten ScoundrelsTwo con men make a $50K bet in
this musical that'll have you laughing, humming and guessing
to the end!
Based on the popular 1988 film that starred Michael Caine
and Steve Martin, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is a raucous musical
comedy centering on two con men living in the French Riviera.
The first, a small-time crook named Freddy Benson, swindles
women by waking their compassion with fabricated stories about
his grandmother's failing health. The other is suave,
sophisticated con artist Lawrence Jameson, who also makes his
living by talking rich ladies out of their money, but on a
much grander scale. After a fateful meeting on a train, they
unsuccessfully attempt to work together only to find that this
small French town isn't big enough for the two of them.
Rather than work together, they agree on a settlement: the
first one to extract $50,000 from a young female target wins,
and the other must leave town. A hilarious battle of cons
ensues, bringing out the best and worst in each man, along
with a fun, unexpected twist that will keep audiences
laughing, humming and guessing to the end!
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels reunites members of the creative
team who brought the comedy The Full Monty to Broadway a few
seasons back with such stunning results: composer/lyricist
David Yazbek, director Jack O'Brien and choreographer Jerry
Mitchell. Add in a company led by two-time Tony winner John
Lithgow and featuring favorites like Norbert Leo Butz, Sherie
Rene Scott, Joanna Gleason and Gregory Jbara and you've got a
sure-to-be surefire Broadway hit!
