Coincidence or not, the provocative award-winning smash hit musical Dirty Rotten Scoundrels will hit the CQ Conservatorium of Music stage from March 29 to April 1, in the wake of the State election...

Bold and downright dirty, the production is based on the film starring Michael Caine and Steve Martin and follows a riotous adventure set in the south of France.

Featuring a disparate band of con-men charmers who specialise in the seduction of wealthy women (at the same time relieving them secretly of the heavy burden of their jewels), the musical production will leave audiences laughing, shocked and wanting more.

CQUniversity Theatre students have started all-day rehearsals to fine-tune what will be the performance of the year.

Led by critically acclaimed director and choreographer Dale Pengelly, audiences should not miss this famous and award-winning Broadway production.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels will open on Thursday, March 29 at 7.30pm, with further shows on Friday, March 30 at 11am and 7.30pm, Saturday, March 31 at 2pm and 7.30pm, and Sunday, April 1 at 2pm.

Bookings are via the Mackay Entertainment and Convention Centre on 4961 9700.
