In this compelling look at misplaced societal priorities, a young husband finds he can no longer stomach his lucrative job. When he and his pregnant wife come up with a business plan that will make them millions while at the same time helping those in need, he believes he's discovered his true calling. Problem is, everyone else thinks his new venture is the most vile thing he's ever done. This satirical new play explores American philanthropy and family values -- with a little bit of hard-core porn thrown in. Playwright Andrew Hinderaker is the Joseph Jefferson-nominated writer and director of Suicide, Incorporated and I Am Going to Change the World. The Chicago Tribune calls him "one of Chicago's most interesting and provocative young writers."

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 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

Really enjoyed this play. The acting was great and the play itself was good. Although it was almost 3 hours long, it didn't feel long nor was it boring or drawn out. Would definitely come back!
