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 Jun 04 2012Some stories were good. Other were just too dumb.

Written on May 14 2012Was unfamiliar with Shel Silverstein so I didn't know what to expect. Very odd,somewhat twisted takes on life and individuals. I LIKED IT! The only problem was patrons have to cross directly in front of the stage in order to get to their seats. Not a problem until the show starts. At this theater all latecommers are allowed in no matter how long the show has been going on. Very annoying and I'm sure not appreciated by the actors!!

Written on May 14 2012If you bought tickets already do not bother attending. The venue is very small so you cannot leave until the show is over. There were very few entertaining moments. It was not worth the elevator ride up to the 5th floor.

The Best Daddy
Lisa's got the best daddy in the world. After all, he bought her a pony for her birthday. Too bad he shot it dead. Or did he?
The Lifeboat is Sinking
Jen and Sherwin sit safely on their bed, but Jen forces her husband to imagine they are on a sinking boat in the middle of a terrible storm.
Smile
Bender and his henchmen drag Gibby into a room and throw him to the ground. Gibby protests that he hasn't done anything wrong, but Bender and the others know better. They have found the man responsible for the '70s smiley face and the phrase "Have a nice day," and they're going to make him pay.
Wash and Dry
Marianne stops by the laundromat, but she's horrified to discover that her laundry hasn't been cleaned.
Thinking Up a New Name for the Act
Pete hits on the phrase "Meat and Potatoes" as the perfect name for their vaudeville act, but Lucy doesn't like it. The only words in this farcical sketch are "Meat and Potatoes."
Note: This sketch is the ultimate acting exercise. The only dialogue in the sketch is “Meat and Potatoes” repeated over, but it plays out like an entire Law & Order Episode
Blind Willie and the Talking Dog
Blind Willie sings the blues and asks passersby if they can spare a nickel or dime to help him and his hungry dog. But his dog can't understand why Willie refuses to use the fact that he owns a talking dog to make some real money.
