CATCH ME IF YOU CAN
– THE MUSICAL
The musical adaptation of the hit 2002 movie comedy Catch Me If You Can is headed to Broadway next spring: The show, featuring a book by Terrence McNally, music by Marc Shaiman and lyrics by Scott Wittman and Shaiman, will begin previews on March 7, 2011, at a Nederlander theater to be announced, with opening night set for April 10, directed by Jack O’Brien and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell. No casting has been announced.
Catch Me If You Can tells the 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.
