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 Dec 20 2011Magnificent mise en scene. Great songs, great engagement of audience. By the end all sang along and cheered with the cast. Great cast! A British Pantomine in the truest meaning of this form of art.
Written on Dec 20 2011This was a delightful matinee production of a traditional British pantomime. Do not expect professional theatre because it is not, but all the amateur cast works quite hard to deliver fun to the audience. The lead Dame was excellent! Brits, ex-pats, and Anglophiles will have a great time. The production is hampered by the venue: folding chair seating on the town hall floor, so it is hard to see; the first 8 rows were reserved for children to help with that problem, but my granddaugher wanted to sit with us. Even on the aisle, it was hard for her to see, but she enjoyed the panto anyway. So did the three adults in our party. If you plan to go to next year's panto (and I encourage you to do so) be advised that the panto runs a bit longer than other plays--it ended close to 5:00 pm, with a 2:00 pm start. The production company states that children under 5 will not be admitted for the panto, and it certainly would be too long and not fun for very young children.
Written on Dec 20 2011Fun and good to attend with your kids.
Written on Dec 20 2011Not as good as other pantomimes by "The British Players". Very disappointed overall. The younger children in the audience seemed to have fun, especially when things picked up in the second half. Do not hink I would go to another one.

Description
Directed by Pauline Griller-Mitchell
Produced by Eileen Kent
A traditional British Pantomime
Young Peter’s evil brothers have cheated him out of his inheritance, leaving him with nothing but his mangy old cat. Worse, the girl he loves is really a princess, and her mother wants her to marry a rich lord. Plus, a hungry ogre is looking for dinner. But wait! Mother Goose casts a spell on the cat, and it’s Puss in Boots to the rescue!
Pantomime is a British tradition of winter musical comedy theatre. Not to be mistaken with mime – silent performers in white-face make up. British pantomime takes familiar fairy tales and children's stories such as Cinderella, Aladdin, Dick Whittington and His Cat, Snow White and injects a bit of music hall (British Vaudeville) sensibility, contemporary references and audience participation to create a raucous, noisy entertainment that's fun for the whole family.
