Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

Why see Dirty Rotten Scoundrels?

Based on the popular 1988 film, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels centers on two con men living in the French Riviera. The first, a small-time crook named Freddy Benson, swindles women by waking their compassion with fabricated stories about his grandmother's failing health. 

The other is suave, sophisticated con artist Lawrence Jameson, who also makes his living by talking rich ladies out of their money, but on a much grander scale. After meeting on a train, they unsuccessfully attempt to work together only to find that this small French town isn't big enough for the two of them. 

They agree on a settlement: the first one to extract $50,000 from a young female target wins, and the other must leave town. A hilarious battle of cons ensues, bringing out the best and worst in each man, along with a fun, unexpected twist that will keep audiences laughing, humming and guessing to the end!

AWSOME!

The best musical i have ever seen and i have seen 60! Dirty rotten scoundresl is perfect in evry way. The material is a bit on the adult side but not as bad as the producers if that gives you any idea. I recomend this show for children 12 - 13 and above . Its full of laughter , fun . glamor , and very humable show tunes . Out of evry musical in new york , i will always recomend this one. For good seats , the imerial thatre has no partial view , so any seats are great , just stay away from the back of the orchestra and the rear mezzanine , like all thatres.
