Based on the hit film and the incredible true story, Catch Me If You Can is a high-flying musical comedy about chasing your dreams — and not getting caught. Nominated for four Tony Awards, including Best Musical, this delightfully entertaining show is written by Terrence McNally (The Full Monty, Ragtime) and features a swinging score by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray). Guest artist Angie Schworer — who appeared in the original Broadway production — returns to the show as director and choreographer.
Seeking fame and fortune, precocious teenager Frank Abagnale Jr. runs away from home and launches into an unforgettable adventure. Armed with nothing but his boyish charm, a vivid imagination and millions of dollars in forged checks, Frank successfully poses as a pilot, a doctor and a lawyer — living the high life and winning the girl of his dreams. But when Frank’s lies catch the attention of FBI agent Carl Hanratty, the relentless investigator pursues him across the country to make him pay for his crimes.
Catch Me If You Can is a big and bright spectacle with high-energy dance numbers and a riveting story.
Suggested Show Rating: PG
