Abagnale successfully poses as a pilot, a doctor and a lawyer -- and wins the girl of his dreams -- before FBI agent Carl Hanratty finally catches up to him.

Reviews & Ratings
report as inappropriateGreat fun . . . well acted, well sung, good orchestra. My 12 year old daughter enjoyed it very much, as did I. The seats were excellent -- orchestra, on the aisle, about half way back. It's really nice to be able to see this caliber of a show on the Peninsula -- without paying for parking and fighting traffic!
report as inappropriateGo see this. Don't hesitate; just do it!
Where was the audience? I guess the low turnout may have been because I saw it on a Thursday night. Or maybe it's the poor economy. But all those empty seats represent people you are missing out on a great performance. Honestly, I don't know how these folks put on such great shows for the money they charge.
The actors are terrific, and the set is remarkable. This is no sappy musical. The play is a dirty rotten good time!
report as inappropriateI LOVED this event--it was funny and exceptionally well--performed and impressively staged.
report as inappropriateWe celebrated a birthday that evening. We loved the show. I was very impressed with the choreography.
The acting and the singing were top notch!
It was a fun evening

Book by Jeffrey Lane
Music & Lyrics by David Yazbek
Based on the film Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Written by Dale Launer and Stanley Shapiro & Paul Henning
Take a trip to the French Riviera with the riotously funny, Tony-nominated musical comedy, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Based on the popular 1988 film, this is the story of two very funny con men who try to out-con each other. They soon find out that the small French town the live in isn't big enough to support two filthy, shameless, lying, cheating, dirty rotten scoundrels so they setup a challenge. The first person to successfully "clean out" a naive American heiress can stay in town and the loser must leave. The battle between them will take you on a hilarious adventure filled with twists, turns and great big laughs!
