The con is on.
Get ready to be seduced, swindled, and swept off your feet — Dirty Rotten Scoundrels hits the Hayes in a glittering new production that’s all charm, chaos, and con artistry at its most delicious.
Based on the hit 1988 film starring Michael Caine and Steve Martin, this Tony-nominated musical comedy follows two cunning conmen — the elegant, ruthless Lawrence Jamieson and the wildly unpredictable Freddy Benson — as they go head-to-head on the French Riviera in a winner-takes-all game of deception. Their target? A sweet, unsuspecting American heiress. But in a world built on lies and reinvention, nothing — and no-one — is quite what they seem.
With a razor-sharp book by Jeffrey Lane and an irresistibly cheeky score by David Yazbek (The Band’s Visit, Tootsie, The Full Monty), Scoundrels is a riot of farcical foolishness, toe-tapping tunes, and whip-smart satire. Expect bold physical comedy, razor-edged elegance, and performances as dazzling as a Riviera sunset. This fresh Hayes production is a joyous wink to the art of performance itself.
This one’s for fans of the original film, lovers of sharp musical theatre, and anyone who can’t resist a smooth-talking rogue.
