“Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” is a musical comedy based on the film of the same name, which was written by Dale Launer, Stanley Shapiro, and Paul Henning. The story follows two con men who make their living along the French Riviera by preying on the kindness of rich women. Sophisticated, suave with a good dash of mischief, this hysterical comedy features a delightfully jazzy score and was nominated for a staggering eleven Tony Awards.
The roles are:
Lawrence Jameson – Male age 40-60. An experienced British con artist who is sophisticated, suave, and elegant.
Freddy Benson – Male, 25-35. A young, clever, aspiring American con artist.
Christine Colgate – Female, 35-45. A seemingly good-natured American heiress vacationing on the French Riviera
Andre Thibault – Male, 45-55. Lawrence’s French assistant.
Muriel Eubanks – Female, 50-60, A wealthy, attractive American socialite from Nebraska
Jolene – Female, 25-35. An American heiress from Oklahoma.
Ensemble – Males and females, teens to 50s. Actors, singers, and dancers to play waiters, butlers and maids.
The production runs July 21-23 in Lebanon and July 28-29 in Sweet Home. Rehearsals will be on weekday evenings and possibly some weekends, as the opening of the show approaches.
