Win free tickets to 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels'
UPDATE 5:16 p.m.: And that winner is Janet Heidinger, who upon learning that she won the tickets wrote "OH MY GOD, DONALD!!!! I HAVEN'T WON ANYTHING IN THE LAST 25 YEARS!!! I AM SIMPLY ECSTATIC!!!" And she doesn't usually write in all caps.
See how the Beehive can change your life?
UPDATE 4:30 p.m.: Looks like we have a winner. I have an email out to confirm. Thanks for playing.
ORIGINAL ENTRY: I've got a nice pair of tickets to give away to the next Broadway in Fresno touring show. The tickets are for Tuesday (Jan. 6), opening night of "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels," 7:30 p.m. at the Saroyan Theatre. (The show continues on Wednesday, Jan. 7.) They're good orchestra seats: row N!
I'll be giving the tickets away to the seventh commenter to this post (no multiple entries, please). Include a valid email address so we can verify the winner. I won't post any of the comments until the winner is determined. Rules are posted on the jump. If you win, you'll need to pick up the tickets at The Bee on Tuesday.
A little about the show: "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" opened on Broadway in 2005 and starred John Lithgow and Norbert Leo Butz. It's based on the 1988 movie about two con men who have a chance meeting in the lavish world of the French Riviera. (That movie, incidentally, was itself based on the 1964 film "Bedtime Story" starring David Niven and Marlon Brando.) This version you'll see in Fresno is an Equity production (a relatively rare occurrence here) and is presented by a Canadian theater company called Drayton Entertainment. I interviewed him in Friday's issue of 7, so if you want to know more about this production, check it out.

It's true, these equity productions are so incredible-the
talent is always brilliant. I was lucky enough to see both
"The Producers" & "Mama Mia". But then again, I've often been blown away by some of the productions at Roger Rocka's
as well! If I won those free tickets, it would break the curse I've had for too many years as a humble loser....
