ABOUT THE SHOW
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, based on the popular 1988 MGM film, takes us to the French Riviera for high jinks and hilarity as two con men compete for the heart—and the wallet—of an American heiress. Sophisticated, suave and delectably mischievous, this hysterical, Tony Award-nominated comedy features a seductively jazzy score by David Yazbek (The Full Monty). A hilarious battle of cons ensues that will keep audiences laughing, toe-tapping, and guessing to the end!
