DIRTY ROTTEN
SCOUNDRELS
September 10 - November 7, 2010
Based on the popular 1988 film,
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels centers on two con men living on the French
Riviera. The first is the suave and sophisticated Lawrence Jameson, who
makes his lavish living by talking rich ladies out of their money. The
other, a small-time crook named Freddy Benson, more humbly swindles women by
waking their compassion with fabricated stories about his grandmother's
failing health. At first Lawrence takes Freddy under his wing, but when the
two end up going head-to-head to try and be the first to take American soap
queen Christine Colgate for $50,000, their plotting and scheming leads to
twists, turns, laughs, and a surprise ending.
The original Broadway
cast was a who's who of Broadway headliners lead by John Lithgow as Lawrence
Jameson and Norbert Leo Butz as Freddy Benson. Butz won both the Tony
and Drama Desk Award for Lead Actor in a Musical for his portrayal of the
crass conman. Also in the cast were Sherie Rene Scott as Christine
Colgate, Joanna Gleason as Muriel Eubanks, and Gregory Jbara as Andre.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels had its world premiere at the Old Globe
Theatre in San Diego, California before opening at the Imperial Theatre on
Broadway in January 2005. Directed by Jack O'Brien and choreographed
by Jerry Mitchell, the Broadway production ran for a total of 663
performances, receiving 11 Tony Award nominations and 10 Drama Desk Award
nominations. Now, it's time for Frederick audiences to "get taken" by
this "deliciously rotten" comedy making its area premiere at WOB!
