Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Two con men, a beautiful woman and the elite of the French Riviera collide in this sexy and irreverent farce.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, based on the popular 1988 MGM film, takes us to the French Riviera for high jinks and hilarity. Sophisticated, suave with a good dash of mischief, this hysterical comedy features a delightfully jazzy score by David Yazbek (The Full Monty) and was nominated for a staggering eleven Tony Awards.

Lawrence Jameson makes his lavish living by talking rich ladies out of their money. Freddy Benson more humbly swindles women by waking their compassion with fabricated stories about his grandmother's failing health. After meeting on a train, they attempt to work together, only to find that 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 target, heiress, Christine Colgate, wins, and the other must leave town. A hilarious battle of cons ensues that will keep audiences laughing, humming and guessing to the end!

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels gives directors the wonderful opportunity to direct two leading men with a large ensemble. It's a great choice for community theatres looking to add some spice to their season!

Language question
Hi there, I am curious if you know the policy for making a change to a couple instances of language to better suit our community. Example: in "Oklahoma?" changing the F-bomb to "F-ers". I love this title and am considering it but that is a definite concern for our audience. Thanks, Brandon
