A summertime adventure on the Riviera!
Escape to the beautiful French Riviera where you’ll find sunshine, cool breezes, swanky villas, roulette tables, the idle rich and two charming con men ready to swindle you. In this outrageous musical comedy, sophisticated Lawrence and small-time Freddy square off to see who can pick clean the vacationing Christine Colgate. This recent Broadway hit will be performed in the round for the first time anywhere.
The Music Circus premiere of "DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS" (August 3-8) will star Burke Moses as Lawrence Jameson, Timothy Gulan as Freddy Benson and Jessica Rush as Christine Colgate. Moses created the role of Gaston in the original Broadway production of "Beauty and the Beast." Other Broadway roles include Sky Masterson in "Guys and Dolls" and Fred/Petruchio in "Kiss Me, Kate." Gulan returns to the role of Freddy that he performed in the national tour. Rush previously played the role of Christine Colgate in the Philadelphia production. John Scherer, following up from "Spamalot" earlier in the season, will be Andre Thibault and Cynthia Ferrer (national tours of "Singing in the Rain" and "Happy Days") will be Muriel Eubanks. Amy Bodnar, who played Laurey in "Oklahoma!" on Broadway, will play Oklahoma oil princess Jolene Oakes in "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels." The cast also includes Alan Bennett, Naomi Hubert, Karen Hyland, Megan Jimenez, Luke Lazzaro, Michael McGurk, Ralph Meitzler, Amanda Paulson, Mahri Relin, Peyton Royal, Shannon Lea Smith, Jonathan Stahl, Shannon Stoeke and Lisaun Whittingham. "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" will be directed and choreographed by Richard Stafford and the musical direction will be by Darren Cohen.
