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 Jul 16 2012There are two reasons for the four instead of five stars. 1) The first one-act, Salty Dog, was much weaker than the second one-act. I love seeing new work, but this piece about casting Survivor 28: New York Subway System needed a lot more workshopping before it would be truly ready for the stage. Poor acting from the two-man cast, too.
Jerry from Zoo Story was spectacular! He was Jerry in every gesture, every movement, every fluctuation in his voice. I didn't want to look away.
Which is why I hated his counterpart, Peter. This actor tried to steal all of Jerry's big moments by crying and drawing attention to himself. This play is not about you and whenever you started overacting to get my attention, I only became more incensed.
I'm so glad that there is a theater presenting important works such as Edward Albee's The Zoo Story, but there needs to be better casting, directing, and show pairing in the future.
