With this giddily entertaining show, David Yazbek confirms that The Full Monty wasn't a fluke--few on Broadway can equal his melodic verve and lyrical cleverness. Based on the 1988 movie of the same name, the show deals with a pair of con artists swindling rich women on the French Riviera. Lithgow brings debonair charm to the Michael Caine part, while Norbert Leo Butz (Wicked) proves to be a comic dynamo in the Steve Martin part. And Yazbek provides them with an array of catchy tunes (adorned in beautiful Bacharach-style arrangements by Harold Wheeler). Butz goes ballistic on the hilarious "Great Big Stuff," which demolishes conspicuous consumption, then pairs up with feisty leading lady Sherie Rene Scott on "Love Is My Legs," a wicked sendup of Celine Dionstyle torch epics. Meanwhile, Lightgow nails the tender ballad "Love Sneaks In." A delicious jazz reprise of "Nothing Is Too Wonderful to Be True" by Scott and pianist Bill Charlap shows that Yazbek's songs don't need flashy pizzazz to be memorable. --Elisabeth Vincentelli Other Great Musicals of the Season

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (2005 Original Broadway Cast) reviews by customers
 Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Norbert Leo Butz is absolutely amazing once again and once again Sheree Renee Scott is a usual disappointment. But one of the bonus tracks she actually sounds alright.
 DULL DULL DULL
I haven't seen the show, but I certainly hope it works better on stage with visuals than it does listening to this tepid CD. Not a memorable note of music in the entire score.
Such an awesome musical, but it wasn't the cast I saw, but a great soundtrack!
I loved this musical when I went to see it in late March of 2006. It's based off the movie with Steve Martin and Michael Kain.
I think EVERYONE in this original cast is PERFECTLY suited for their part. John Lithgow does a great job at being the haughty, elegant, charming and educated British con man. Norbert Leo Butz will make you laugh your a** off with his crass humor, and he just brings it ALL out in "Great Big Stuff" singing about how he wants to be rich! Sherie Rene Scott is a fantastic Broadway singer, and she's perfect as the sweet, innocent, ditzy American blonde (or is she? hmmm?) While she acts ditzy, her voice is big, telling everyone "Here I Am," making everyone so happy. Joanne Gleason really kicks it with her snooty little role as a rich American woman who, while a bit uneducated, gives each song an attitude! Gregory Jbara is a perfect, snooty Frenchman, always looking out for master Lawrence Jameson (John Lithgow).
Great musical. If you've seen the movie, see the musical, then buy the soundtrack.
