The John W. Engeman Theater announced the cast and creative team of DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS. Performances begin on Thursday, January 19, 2023, and run through Sunday, March 5, 2023.

Con artist Lawrence Jameson is a longtime resident of a luxurious coastal resort, where he enjoys the fruits of his deceptions-that is, until a competitor, Freddy Benson, shows up. When the new guy's lowbrow tactics impinge on his own work, Jameson resolves to get rid of him. Based on the uproarious movie, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels boasts a jazzy-pop score by David Yazbek, who also wrote the music for The Full Monty.
