Show Information:Synopsis:
Based on the popular 1988 MGM film, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels takes us to the French Riviera and centers around two con men: the suave, sophisticated, and smooth-talking, Lawrence Jameson, who makes his lavish living by talking rich ladies out of their money and a small-time crook, Freddy Benson, who humbly swindles women by waking their compassion with fabricated stories about his grandmother’s failing health. After attempting to work together, they realize this small French town isn’t big enough for the two of them. They agree on a settlement: the first one to extract $50,000 from a young female heiress, Christine Colgate, wins and the other must leave town. Nominated for eleven Tony awards, this sophisticated, suave with a good dash of mischief, hysterical comedy features a delightfully jazzy score and a hilarious battle of cons that ensures the audience will keep laughing, humming, and guessing to the very end!
