"IT WAS JOY, IT WAS SUBLIME, A SPLENDID WAY TO EARN A DIME."

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels follows the misadventures of two con-artists: Freddy Benson and Lawrence Jameson. Freddy is just one more hardscrabble huckster trying to make a (dis)honest living – that is, until he meets Lawrence, a high-society swindler whose polish and connections have landed him a glamorous gig on the French Riviera.

When Lawrence invites Freddy to team up, it seems like the two have finally found the perfect con – until they realize that their egos are the only thing more massive than their earnings. Friction turns to an outright feud when the perfect target arrives in town – Christine, an heiress who is just as beautiful as she is gullible. Who will be the first to steal Christine’s heart and, more importantly, her wallet? Grab a sunhat and a cold drink for a musical that will keep you grinning and guessing from start to finish. 

Rated PG–13
