About the Show

Based on the popular 1988 film, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is an uproarious musical comedy showcasing the art of deception of two rival con men. Both make a living swindling wealthy women on the French Riviera, but their worlds collide when they target the same heiress. To settle their rivalry, they agree on a challenge: the first to con the heiress out of $50,000 wins, and the loser must leave town. What follows is a hilarious and unpredictable battle of wits and charm, filled with double-crosses, outrageous schemes, and unexpected twists.
