Catch Me If You Can is a rollicking musical based on the true story of Frank Abagnale Jr who, between the ages of 16 to 20, passed $2 million dollars in bad cheques while successfully impersonating a pilot, a doctor, and a lawyer. Based on the 2002 movie of the same name, Frank runs away from home as a precocious teenager in 1960s America and pursues the globetrotting high life while winning the girl of his dreams and not getting caught. Eventually, though, he gains the attention of FBI agent Carl Hanratty, a tenacious and lonely workaholic, who pursues his new target across America.
Nominated for four Tony awards, including Best Musical, Catch Me If You Can was created by the team behind Hairspray. With a swinging score by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman and a book by Terrence McNally (The Full Monty Ragtime), it’s a fast-paced high-flying musical, with energetic dance numbers and a riveting storyline.
