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 inappropriateThe acting was superb. The language was not. Too much usage of the f word. We do enjoy seeing plays at the Barn so we will be back.
report as inappropriateA two-hour laugh fest!!! My seat partner and I (both playwrights and critical theatre goers) howled along with the very full house and were particularly impressed with lead actor Buzz Halsing, who well earned his screams of "BRAVO!" at the curtain calls...a tour-de-force job from this pro in a role he seems born to have played. Simply hilarious! Thanks to Ross Valley Players for bringing this searing, outrageous comedy to life.
report as inappropriateContrary to other reviewers, the foul language didn't ruin anything for me. I thought the play was wonderful and in very capable hands. The run time isn't very long: I chatted with cast members after the show and was in the car to go home at 10pm.
report as inappropriateThe dialogue was so filled with four letter words that it was hard to follow the so-called "plot". Actors were good, but the play was not. The venue was very hostile to disabled attendees. The driving directions given were to a lower parking lot. Then you must walk up a hill with minimal lighting. There is an upper parking lot, but one can only find it by telephoning ahead and getting directions to an unmarked road at the back of the Marin Art and Garden Center. We did not know this.

Description
David Mamet has created a hilarious comedy about bad behavior in high places. U.S. President Charles Smith wants a second term, but the outlook is bleak. Poll numbers are in single digits, his campaign manager has gone on vacation, there is no money in the war chest, and his wife is already decorating his memorial library. His only hope comes from the turkey lobby, and involves pardoning a turkey or two before Thanksgiving; and his brilliant speechwriter, who has her own demands.
Reviewing the Broadway production from the 2005 season, the New York Times called the play "a wall-to-wall laugh track" while the Chicago Tribune labeled November "howlingly funny."
