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

Reviews & Ratings
Report as inappropriateA high-spirited and talented cast leads a bawdy romp through this surprisingly modern play.
Report as inappropriateThis was a well acted, fast moving entertaining play! It was amazing what they did with a minimalist set. The horseback scene was very cool! As was the preacher's sermon!
Report as inappropriateI am not an Anglophile, but this was definitely a terrific production as far as period pieces go. It was incredibly fast paced, but I had no trouble keeping up with the twists and turns. Second best show I've seen at this theater company (Ephemera was a masterpiece!)
Report as inappropriateThis was really funny! Great show, well directed and acted, perfectly balanced humor, very charming (in a good way). Go see it!

- "Full of wit ... Marcus Davis and Alex Fisher are fresh-faced and likable." --Chicago Reader (highly recommended)
- "This Midwest premiere of David Hammond's deft adaptation is everything you'd want it to be: clever, spirited, funny, literate, insightful, physical, and teeming with engaging characters engagingly played." --Chicago Stage Style (four stars)
- "On the stage it’s a breathless whirlwind of scandal, love, treachery, lust, and revenge, with hardly a moment’s pause...You’ll especially enjoy this play if you’re a fan of Dickens, Shakespeare or Fielding." --Chicago Theater Beat (three stars)
About the Ticket Supplier: Polarity Ensemble Theatre
Polarity Ensemble Theatre brings together the yin and the yang. We marry tradition with innovation. Like the ancient Greeks, we create theatre to honor the spirit embodied in Dionysos, god of inspiration, wine and fertility, as well as of madness and destruction. We incorporate such elements as music, dance and ritual to create classic and brand new theatre that teases the intellect and stirs the soul.
Polarity Ensemble Theatre is a nonprofit theatre production and publishing company. Our goal is to create innovative productions of classic theatre as well as premieres of new works. When we produce new theatrical works, it is our intent to take such works first through a development process involving the playwright, a director and actors, and the community.
As a literary organization, we intend to develop and publish works of fiction and poetry as well as new plays and adaptations. In all cases, we will present public performances in conjunction with our publishing efforts.
