Dirty Rotten Musical

For those who love the movie AND have seen the musical, what did you think? I absolutely love the movie and I'm a big Norbert fan, but I've heard some of the soundtrack and I wasn't really impressed.

Well, it's not on Broadway anymore, but I had the pleasure of seeing it with most of the original cast. Exception was Jon Lithgow who was replaced by Johnathon Pryce, which is a MUCH better casting in my opinion.

DRS was one on the funniest shows I have seen in a LOOOOONG time. The music is awesome, and Norbert was great. Sherri Rene Scott stole the show though.

The musical was amazing. I saw it as a last minute choice and it turned out to be an amazing choice. I saw Jon Lithgow in it and thought he was brilliant! Couldn't have been better casting for the whole cast. Sherri Rene's was the wonderful in the role. I hope they make a movie-musical with the entire original B-way casting.

DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE FILMS SO I WAS SO PLEASED TO HEAR THERE WASA A MUSICAL AND FLEW TO NEW YORK TO SEE IT AND I LOVED IT AND HAVE BEEN SING WITH THE SOUNDRACK EVER SINCE. I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS BRILLIANT CASTING OF THE MAIN GIRL AND 'GREAT BIG STUFF' WAS AN ABSOLUTLY FANTASTIC OPENING (KIND OFF) NUMBER.
I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY TRUE TO THE FILM EVEN IF THERE WAS JUST A FEW EXTRA PARTS
