This month sees the UK première at Opera House, Manchester, of the star-studded new musical Dirty Rotten Scoundrels—in a limited run prior to the West End.
It’s directed and choreographed by Tony Award-winning Jerry Mitchell, and stars Robert Lindsay, Rufus Hound, Katherine Kingsley, Samantha Bond and John Marquez.
The show is based on the legendary 1988 film starring Michael Caine and Steve Martin, reconceived and reimagined for the UK stage.
In the luxurious lap of the French Riviera the decadent world of sophisticated conman Lawrence Jameson is set to come crashing down with the arrival of larger-than-life Freddy Benson—a conman of an entirely different order.
It runs from February 12-22.
