“Dirty Rotten Scoundrels”
Book by Jeffrey Lane
Music and Lyrics by David Yazbek
Directed by Taylor Vickers
This modern musical is based on the 1988 MGM film of the same name. In the exotic French Riviera, Lawrence Jameson makes his living by smooth talking rich, single women out of their money. He has been in the trade for many years and has got his technique down to a tee. But then he bumps into Freddy Benson. Freddy takes a more laid back approach, swindling women with emotional lies about his grandmother’s failing health and his own economic struggles. The two men initially decide to form a double act but their egos soon clash and the French coast isn’t big enough for the two of them. To settle their rivalry, they agree on a bet: the first to swindle $50,000 from the latest young heiress in town, Christine Colgate, can stay and the other must leave town. Hilarity and confusion ensue as the two men pull out all the stops to prove they are the best con man in town. Adult Situations.
