BOO-YAH
Or whatever it is we say in the theater when we have just kicked ass. The five principals blocked the entire second act tonight and worked the musical numbers as well. Once we add the awesome ensemble, we'll have Act II totally licked. Totally.
Suave and sophisticated Lawrence Jameson makes his lavish living by talking rich ladies out of their money, while a small-time crook named Freddy Benson more humbly swindles women by waking their compassion with fabricated stories about his grandmother's failing health. After meeting on a train, they unsuccessfully attempt to work together only to find that their small French town isn't big enough for the two of them. They agree on a settlement: the first one to extract $50,000 from a young female heiress wins and the other must leave town. A hilarious battle of cons ensues, that will keep audiences laughing, humming and guessing to the end! Based on the hit 1988 movie.
