Lucie Arnaz to Replace Joanna Gleason in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

Lucie Arnaz will take over the role of Muriel Eubanks in the hit Broadway musical Dirty Rotten Scoundrels at the Imperial Theatre on May 29, replacing Joanna Gleason, who originated the role.

Arnaz made her Broadway debut at the same theater in They’re Playing Our Song; she received a Theatre World Award for her performance. She later appeared on Broadway in Lost in Yonkers and has starred in regional productions of Whose Life Is It Anyway? (with her husband, Laurence Luckinbill) and My One and Only. The winner of an Emmy Award, Arnaz frequently appeared on television opposite her mother, Lucille Ball.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels currently stars Norbert Leo Butz, Jonathan Pryce, Rachel York, Gregory Jbara, and Mylinda Hull. The show, which features a book by Jeffrey Lane and a score by David Yazbek, was nominated for 11 Tony Awards.
