New YorkDirty Rotten ScoundrelsThe creators of The Full Monty are behind the musical, composer/lyricist David Yazbek, director Jack O'Brien, and choreographer Jerry Mitchell. The book was written by Jeffrey Lane.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.The producers announced they will offer 21 front row tickets for $26.25 for every performance.The tickets will be sold by a lottery method at the Imperial Theatre two hours before curtain. Each winner will be allowed to purchase two tickets.For more information and tickets to Dirty Rotten Scoundrels visit our database here.
