Dirty Rotten Scoundrels: Con Men Compete in Sunny Stage Musical
Glendale Centre Theatre (Glendale, CA)
Breezier than a sunny day on the Cote d’Azur, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is a criminally funny musical that puts the “art” back in con artist. An sparkling adaptation of the classic film comedy starring Steve Martin and Michael Caine, Scoundrels mixes singing swindlers, a cockeyed competition and a score from the composer of The Full Monty into cocktail that fizzes and intoxicates. While the suave Lawrence charms wealthy women out of thousands, rough-edged Freddy uses pity to cadge meals from softies. In a battle for territory, the two crooks agree to a contest: The first to wheedle $50,000 out of a beautiful heiress wins, and the entire Riviera is his and his alone. Now Glendale Centre Theatre presents this Tony-nominated show that’s sure to keep you laughing (and checking for your wallet).
