Video Watch Ramin Karimloo and Hadley Fraser Sing 'Dirty Rotten Number' From Upcoming Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Concerts

Rupert Hands will direct the London concerts of the 2005 Broadway musical.

The concert version of the 2005 Broadway musical Dirty Rotten Scoundrels doesn't play two performances at the London Palladium until November 24, but a sneak peek of the leading men has been released.

Watch Ramin Karimloo (Les Misérables, City Center Encores! Titanic), who will play the scrappy underdog Freddy Benson, and Hadley Fraser (The Pirate Queen, Les Misérables), cast as the smooth Laurence Jamieson, perform "Dirty Rotten Number" from the musical's score. In the production, the two go head-to-head to woo an heiress out of $50,000.

Marking 20 years since the musical premiered at San Diego's Old Globe, the concerts will be directed by Rupert Hands and will also feature Carly Mercedes Dyer as Christine Colgate, Janie Dee as Muriel Eubanks, Rufus Hound as Inspector Andre, and Lauren Drew as Jolene Oaks.

The concerts, which will also have a live orchestra and the Mountainview Choir, are produced by Lambert Jackson and Positive Sum. Additional casting and creative team members will be announced at a later date.

Based on the 1988 movie, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels features a score by David Yazbek and a book by Jeffrey Lane. The 2005 Broadway premiere, co-starring John Lithgow and Norbert Leo Butz, was nominated for 11 Tony Awards with Butz winning the Tony for Best Actor in a Musical.
