The French Riviera shimmers with laughter and high jinks in "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels," a musical brimming with infectious tunes and witty lyrics. Sophisticated conman Lawrence Jameson, accustomed to charming wealthy women out of their fortunes, clashes with Freddy Benson, a brash American who cons women with sob stories. Their uneasy coexistence in this lucrative territory leads to a winner-take-all bet: whoever cons Christine Colgate, a young heiress, out of $50,000 first gets to stay. Hilarious chaos ensues as Lawrence and Freddy deploy their best (and worst) con artistry, with romantic entanglements and unexpected twists blurring the lines between genuine connection and elaborate schemes.
This Tony Award-nominated musical, with music by David Yazbek and lyrics by David Bryan, is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Notable songs like "Give Them What They Want" and "People Like Us" capture the humor and charm of the story.
