Catch It While You Still Can!

The jet-setting hit musical, Catch Me If You Can, will be leaving Broadway on September 4th. The show features a jazzy score and a strong cast including Broadway powerhouses Aaron Tveit and Kerry Butler, not to mention Norbert Leo Butz in the role that just won him a Tony!
CATCH ME IF YOU CAN opened on Broadway Sunday, April 10, 2011 at The Neil Simon Theatre, 250 W. 52nd Street. This new musical, created by a team of Tony winners, features a book by Terrence McNally, music by Marc Shaiman, lyrics by Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman, choreography by Jerry Mitchell and is directed by Jack O’Brien. The show is based on the book and hit 2002 DreamWorks film of the same name directed by Steven Spielberg with screenplay by Jeff Nathanson and book by Frank Abagnale, Jr.
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.
Tickets for CATCH ME IF YOU CAN range from $30.00 – $137.00 and are available via Ticketmaster.com/ 877-250-2929 and at The Neil Simon Theatre Box Office, 250 W. 52nd Street.
