A Must See!!! Review by: BlueStar, Aug 10, 2006 |
"Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" was the BEST show I've seen!
Pryce, Butz, Arnaz, Jbara, and Rene Scott were superb!
The humor was great. I didn't want the show to end!
I plan on seeing it a second time. |

Can't get enough of DRS! Review by: Rabbit, Jul 24, 2006 |
| I have seen DRS six times...and each time was better than the previous one! My six year old was enthralled by the show...and now he knows EVERY line to "Great Big Stuff!" We even made a dvd to send to the cast...My whole family is hoping that Norbert is in the "Broadway Across America" cast...we'll be looking for him in Baltimore! Go see DRS...you'll be in a GREAT mood afterwards! |

A definite MUST SEE Review by: Justabroadwaybaby, Jun 30, 2006 |
| I saw this show with my mother around Thanksgiving with the original cast. Before this show, Wicked was my favorite, but now it's all changed. IT's a must see and it's VERY funny. |

Very funn! Review by: , Jun 22, 2006 |
| I thought this show was very entertaining & very funny. All of the leads were great, especially Norbert Butz, who will be leaving the show in July, so if you haven't yet seen it, do so! An enjoyable evening at the theatre, and it is not for young kids, in my opinion. |

Where art thou, Norbert? Review by: ResedaBabe, May 28, 2006 |
| Saw the show at Memorial Day Matinee on Sunday. Was disappointed Norbert was replaced by the understudy. The understudy was very good, but I had my heart set on Norbert. Lucie Arnaz was good in her role and Jonathan Pryce was excellent. The woman who played the Jackel was fabulous, and I especially was impressed by the tall actress who played the rich girl from Oklahoma. The supporting cast was excellent with beautiful costumes and ... read more creative set design. I bought the tickets at the box office two hours before curtain and specifically asked if there were any role substitutions. I was told there were not. I really missed Norbert, but still liked the show. |

i LOVE DRS!!! i think i'm obsessed!! norbert is the man!! Review by: vegbyrd, May 16, 2006 |
| i LOVE DRS!!!! i think i'm obsessed!! i saw it for my birthday in 2005 with the original cast! i was in a LOT of pain, but not too much to be thoroughly charmed by the show! norbert and lithgow were amazing! i think it is perfect; i'm a theatre person and i wouldn't change a thing! then, in january 2006, my nephew was visiting NYC for the first time. we went down to TKTS and DRS was on the board! i don't know why; all the shows should be ... read more selling out. but i figured he would like it (not really a musical comedy person) and i wanted to see pryce and, of course, norbert! i nearly cried when i found out that norbert wasn't there that night! i saw several understudies and they weren't quite up to par, but the show is almost fool-proof. i missed norbert terribly, but pryce was almost as good as lithgow. he was definitely a good replacement. i'm soooo obsessed that i'm ready to see it again and again! i got the soundtrack for free the first time and so i know all the songs. well, i had forgotten how much more there was to the show besides the superb songs!! if you liked the movie, you'll love DRS, perhaps even like it better than the movie! if you don't like regular corny musicals and you don't mind a little raunchy humor, DRS is the show to see! if you LOVE excellent music and witty, complicated lyrics and a fun book, then run to see DRS!! |

Better than the Original (Sorry John & Sherie) Review by: GRANT, May 8, 2006 |
the 2nd best show ive ever seen! (wicked being the best) i was a bit disappointed when i bought the ticets and i learned that John Lithgow & Sherie Rene Scott were no longer appart of the production. i still bought tickets just to see Norbert. i had also purchased tickets to see Tarzan the next night. my whole entire trip i was waiting to see Tarzan. i went to DRS expecting it to be "OK" but, it turned out FABULOUS...AMAZING...HILARIOUS...GREAT!!... read more!!
acting: AMAZING...i think i may like Jonathan Pryce better than Lithgow..
voices: Nobert= Amazing...Pryce= OK (but it fits the part)... York= GREAT!
set design: its a spetical i loved it...normally with shows like this they don't vocus on the scenary but, this one was great!
dance: GREAT! each one of the chorus members had a distinct personality and didn't play their part as "just an extra"...they were GREAT!
chemistry: i like this cast better than the original (sorry John & Sherie)
PS...JUST FYI...TARZAN BLOWS!!!..See Dirty Rotten!!

Review by: purrminator, Apr 20, 2006 |
Norbert Butz is a dynamo-you can't take your eyes off him.
John Pryce is an excellent fit, he plays the smoooooth con SO well. These two try to make each other laugh on-stage and that's when you can tell they enjoy working together.
The cast was faboo-sets and songs moved quickly. Major props to DRS! |

Review by: GRANT, Apr 7, 2006 |
| I had the CD and i bought tickets to the show. To be perfectly honest, I wasn't that excited because I had heard the music over and over but, it was sooo much better in person. The book was fantastic. I beleive it is the most high energy show on broadway. Pryce & Butz have any amazing presence that you will not soon forget. |

Review by: Erik, Apr 4, 2006 |
| It was funny for the most part, some of the humor was very crude, but an adult with a good sense of humor should enjoy this immensly. |

Review by: Jennifer, Mar 15, 2006 |
We received these tickets as an X-mas gift.
I am not one to be able to sit through an entire show, but this show was AMAZING! Hysterical, fast paced, beautiful costumes, and the actors were superb!
We were all laughing so hard, I would see it 2 times over!
Enjoy the show! |
