CATCH ME IF YOU CAN
Book by Terrence McNally
Music By Marc Shaiman
Directed by Enrico Banson
November 14 – December 7
Based on the hit film and the incredible true story, Catch Me If You Can is the high-flying musical comedy about chasing your dreams and not getting caught. Nominated for four Tony awards, including Best Musical, this delightfully entertaining show was created by a Tony Award-winning “dream team,” with book by Terrence McNally (The Full Monty, Ragtime) and a swinging score by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray).
Seeking fame and fortune, precocious teenager, Frank Abagnale, Jr., runs away from home to begin an unforgettable adventure. With nothing more than his boyish charm, a big 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. When Frank’s lies catch the attention of FBI agent, Carl Hanratty, though, Carl pursues Frank across the country to make him pay for his crimes.
“Catch Me If You Can uses the TV song-and-dance show the way Chicago uses vaudeville: It’s the structure through which we meet the characters and watch the plot develop.”
“Offers considerable entertainment value…. The score by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman is more ambitious than their work on Hairspray.”
You can make a difference!
