Dirty Rotten Scoundrels presented by Big Noise Theatre Company at Prairie Lakes Theatre

Around The Town Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...Fun, Fun, Fun! Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, presented by the Big Noise Theatre Company, is an enjoyable and entertaining show, filled with clever songs and some very funny moments. Originally produced on Broadway in 2005 (Tony nominated) and based on the 1988 movie starring Michael Caine and Steve Martin, "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" is the story of two con men, the cultivated and suave Lawrence Jameson, and the small time American thief Freddy Benson, who are both working the French Rivera looking to swindle rich ladies out of their money. They soon discover that there isn't enough room for the two of them and they agree to a wager to solve the problem. They target a mark, Christine Colgate, "the soap queen", and decide that the first of them that can shake $50,000 from her wins and the other will leave. This sets the stage for some hilarious scenes and a few unforeseen twists!"
