Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

They made a musical of it! And the reason I saw it was 90% nostalgia. I have fond memories of the original, with Michael Caine and Steve Martin - which, it turns out, is itself a remake of Bedtime Story with David Niven and Marlon Brando, but with a different ending. Big shoes to fill, but Tony Sheldon and Matt Hetherington managed it, along with Amy Lehpamer, Anne Wood, Katrina Retallick, and John Wood (of Blue Heelers fame). The songs were a mixed bag, some entertaining, some ordinary. It was more about the story, and it is a solid story, and the performers had the comic timing to carry it.
