Michael Cain News

From the creators of The Full Monty and based on the popular 1988 MGM film starring Michael Caine and Steve Martin, DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS centers on two con men living on the French Riviera - the suave and sophisticated Lawrence Jameson, who makes his lavish living by talking rich ladies out of their money; and a small-time crook named Freddy Benson, who, more humbly, swindles women by waking their compassion with fabricated stories about his grandmother's failing health.

Casting has been announced for the North Shore Music Theatre's production of 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels' being staged from September 21 to October 10, 2010.
