CATCH ME IF YOU CAN captures
the astonishing true story of Frank Abagnale, Jr., a world-class con
artist who passed himself off as a doctor, a lawyer, and a jet pilot—all
before the age of 21. With straight-arrow FBI agent Carl Hanratty on
Frank's trail, we're off on a jet-setting, cat-and-mouse chase, as
a jazzy, swinging-sixties score keeps this adventure in constant motion.
In the end, Agent Hanratty learns he and Frank aren't so very
different after all, and Frank finds out what happens when love catches
up to a man on the run.
This engagement follows hot on the heels of the recent Broadway run, where the show received considerable acclaim. The New York Times
exclaims, “Hot diggity! This portrait of the con artist as a young man
comes to ecstatic life.” WOR Radio calls it “absolutely marvelous” and
proclaims CATCH ME IF YOU CAN “a real Broadway musical with showstoppers to enthrall just about everyone.” And Vanity Fair says “CATCH ME will move you to live life to the fullest and dance past anything standing in your way,” and urges “Get your seats now!”
CATCH ME IF YOU CAN is based on Frank Abagnale’s New York Times bestselling
autobiography, published by Broadway Paperbacks, and the hit 2002 film
of the same name directed by Steven Spielberg with screenplay by Jeff
Nathanson and book by Frank Abagnale, Jr.
