Based on the 1988 movie of the same name starring Michael Caine & Steve Martin, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (The Musical) hit Broadway in 2005 with an all new score by David Yazbek. It ran for 626 performances and garnered 10 Tony nominations.
=0D=0A=Set on the French Riviera, it’s a hysterical romp about two competing con artists and the colorful victims of their scams. Lawrence, a sophisticated Brit, poses as the prince of an non-existent country and swindles millions out of wealthy female tourists looking for adventure on their European holiday. Freddy, a two-bit American hustler, tells sob stories about his ailing grandmother to get a free lunch out of sympathetic passengers on the train. Freddy & Lawrence meet in a chance encounter and at first butt heads and then team up. But when they make a bet to compete for the money and affection of “American Soap Queen” Christine Colgate they get more than they bargained for.
