Based on the hit film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and the incredible true story that inspired it, new Broadway musical Catch Me If You Can follows the life of Frank W. Abagnale Jr., who uses charm, imagination and millions of dollars in forged checks to create his ideal future. Abagnale successfully poses as a pilot, a doctor and a lawyer -- and wins the girl of his dreams -- before FBI agent Carl Hanratty finally catches up to him. The Tony Award-winning "dream team" behind Catch Me If You Can includes playwright Terrence McNally (The Full Monty, Ragtime) and composers Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray). Learn More

Written on Oct 24 2012My wife and I attended Chicago's final performance. I felt it stylistically captured the crude comradeship that soldiers in any violent circumstance rely on while hanging on to their sanity. The language was raw which did not appeal to my wife, but how can war be anything but ugly? Overall, it was brutally ambitious in its scope, physicality, and hellish intent.

And the story was actually interesting and moving.

Written on Oct 22 2012What a great show! Too bad there were so many empty seats as it was one of the best things I've seen. Kept my interest the entire time. Audience gave them a well deserved standing ovation!
