Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Musical
The scheme is set in motion.
Prepare to be charmed, tricked, and utterly carried away — Dirty Rotten Scoundrels arrives at the Hayes in a sparkling new staging packed with flair, folly, and the most delectable duplicity.
Adapted from the beloved 1988 film with Michael Caine and Steve Martin, this Tony-nominated musical follows two master swindlers — the polished, calculating Lawrence Jamieson and the chaotic wildcard Freddy Benson — as they clash on the French Riviera in a high-stakes duel of deceit. Their chosen mark: a seemingly naïve American heiress. But in a landscape stitched together from fibs and fresh identities, nobody is quite who they claim to be.
With Jeffrey Lane’s razor-bright script and David Yazbek’s wickedly playful score (The Band’s Visit; Tootsie; The Full Monty), Scoundrels delivers a whirlwind of absurd antics, infectious rhythms, and satire with bite. Expect daring physical comedy, sleek sophistication, and performances gleaming like a Riviera sunset. This new Hayes production tips its hat to the pure theatrical thrill of make-believe.
Perfect for devotees of the film, fans of sharp-witted musical theatre, and anyone who secretly enjoys a silver-tongued scoundrel.
