Naughty Words in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels?

I'm listening to the Cast Recording and there are (I think) three times that they use a "Dirty" word and every time I hear it I flinch. God Knows, I swear like a trucker, so it's not that I'm a Prude. It's just that this show seems like such a "Matinee" show that I'm surprised they drop a couple of F-Bombs. Rent, Taboo, Company, nothing shocks me.

It seems like a perfect show to take Mom to-- anyone know why they decided to go for a PG-13 rating?

I think most of the language comes from Freddy... he's not a very refined guy. Makes sense for him toss in a few dirty words.

Off the top of my head two are from Great Big Stuff.

There are surely some sexual words, and the s-bomb, but there's no f-word in the whole show... I'm not sure what you're talking about.

Oklahoma. "Shoot those little f*ckers heads clean off" was the line that caught my attention-- Not from Freddy, but from the "sweet lil thing."

Plus, "Oklahoma" has some light-hearted Anti-Semitism.

The show is not and was not intended to be a "matinee" show. The humor is very sexual in several places, and very, very funny. Jolleene Ochs is not a "Sweet Little Thing" at all! Everything works really well for the characters but it seems like it is really a different show than you were expecting. I love it, but it is not "family friendly" although I don't actually think most of the stuff goes all that far.

The language is fine for the show. Not every production has to be fit for little kiddies.
