Direct from London’s West End and based on the classic comedy film starring Sir Michael Caine and Steve Martin, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels will transport you to the French Riviera (ooh-la-la!) where two seasoned swindlers attempt to hoodwink a millionaire heiress. As the two compete for her affections (and her money), they discover there is only room for one of them. Which will it be?
