BROADWAY BY THE BAY (BBBay), the Peninsula's premiere musical theatre company, kicks off its 45th season with DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS, the musical comedy hitrunningTuesday, April 1 through Sunday, April 18 at the San Mateo Performing Arts Center (600 N. Delaware Ave., San Mateo).
Interact Theatre Company will close the first production of its 20th Anniversary season, the hilarious musical comedy and the Los Angeles Intimate Theatre Premiere of DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS, with book by Jeffrey Lane, music and lyrics by David Yazbek, on March 28th.
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.
The new company of the Tony Award-winning comedy, Alfred Hitchcock's THE 39 STEPS began rehearsals today in preparation for the first performance at New World Stages on March 25, 2010.
We all love the movie Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Because, really, what's not to love? The seasoned, elegant, upscale, and rather dashing con man Lawrence Jameson (played flawlessly by the sleek and sophisticated Michael Caine) takes a crude, grubby, aspiring con artist Freddie Benson under his wing (Steve Martin in one of his most brilliant and memorable roles). When the master and the protégé become competitors for the heart (and the fortune) of a naive ingénue, hilarity ensues. Unscrupulous leading characters, sexcapades, a hint of romance, a beautiful French Riviera setting, and lots of lying, cheating, dirty rotten deeds. Again, what's not to love about this story? But does the adaptation of the film work as a stage musical? Well...yes and no.
