A national tour of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels will open at the New Alexandra Theatre, Birmingham on 5 May 2015 where it plays until 16 May 2015 (the musical then goes on to visit Sunderland, Glasgow, Liverpool, Torquay, Stoke, Oxford and Edinburgh). The West End production of the show continues to play at the Savoy Theatre.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels opened in the West End in March 2014 and is based on the 1988 film starring Michael Caine and Steve Martin.
Tony Award-winning director and choreographer Jerry Mitchell said: “I am thrilled that Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, our very first show from Jerry Mitchell Productions, will be taking to the road in the UK. I have no doubt that every city we visit will take this hilarious show to their hearts and will laugh and enjoy this musical as much as a quarter of a million people who have already seen it so far have done.”
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is directed and choreographed by Mitchell (Kinky Boots – currently Broadway’s biggest Tony Award-winning hit, Legally Blonde, Hairspray) in his debut production for Jerry Mitchell Productions. The musical has music and lyrics by David Yazbek (Late Night With David Letterman, The Full Monty) and book by Jeffrey Lane (Mad About You).
Jerry Mitchell Productions is a partnership between the Ambassador Theatre Group (ATG) and Jerry Mitchell. The company works to develop, create and produce new productions, focusing on a wide range of projects from new commissions to fresh, innovative versions of classic pieces for ATG Theatres in London, New York and around the world.
