	Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Nestled among the multitudinous producers' credits in the playbill for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels are such names as David Belasco and the Entire Prussian Army.
		The whole marketing campaign for this new musical comedy has been focused around its con-man heroes: a good-natured, exaggerated bait-and-switching to prepare audiences for the merry mischief that the show's eponymous crooks cook up.
		Throughout, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels keeps its tongue planted firmly in its cheek and its eye on the sole objective of tickling its audience's fancy without ever taking anything the least bit seriously.

	Talkin' Broadway Review: Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
		That's what the creators of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels are attempting, and while they succeed roughly half the time, it's the other, unanchored half that makes it hard to fall for this show's particular spiel.
		The musical's writers, Jeffrey Lane (book) and David Yazbek (music and lyrics), don't attempt to replicate that style, but instead settle for simultaneously conventional and contemporary broad musical comedy.
		But even a frivolous musical comedy (at least one not overtly aiming for burlesque) deserves, or even needs, to be told seriously and tightly.

		John Lithgow, as the aging con man, is lithe and lean, exquisitely couture-d by costumer Gregg Barnes, the epitome of elegance with just a touch of maniacal zeal.
		What ensues is testimony to the creativity of book writer Jeffrey Lane (based on the hilarious Laune/Shapiro/Henning movie which starred Michael Caine and Steve Martin), and the remarkable versatility of composer/lyricist David Yazbek, whose score is an immediately accessible eclectic blend of old fashioned show tunes pumped up with contemporary treatment.
		Noted architect David Rockwell's art deco/cartoon-y sets are in keeping with the one dimensional tone of the show's comedy, and also keep in mind the ease of traveling for the inevitable road tours.

		NEW YORK — If musical comedy is dead, as several of its biggest champions have persuasively argued, then some people are having a swell time dancing on its grave.
		Scoundrels, which opened Thursday at the Imperial Theatre, is the baby of composer/lyricist David Yazbek, director Jack O'Brien and choreographer Jerry Mitchell — the same team behind the winking adaptation of The Full Monty.
		The enduring lesson of Mel Brooks' smash is that in the new millennium, the surest way to stage a hit musical is to make fun of musicals — along with anything or anyone else likely to strike a chord with contemporary theatergoers.

		Rent was once advertised as the musical for people who hate musicals in an attempt to appeal to those who look down on musical theatre as being crass and commercial.
		But with Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, whose gag-infested book was expertly crafted by Jeffrey Lane, Yazbek and company create a fantasy world the union boys of The Full Monty could only dream of.
		The fact that such contrasting comedic styles can compliment each other in the same musical is a testament to the versatility of bookwriter Jeffrey Lane and the seamless propulsion provided by director Jack O'Brien.
