Like a Renaissance Celebrity Apprentice, the Old Globe Theatre's Divine Rivalry transports you back to early 16th-century Florence, with politician Niccolò Machiavelli (who would go on to pen The Prince) taking a Trump-like role. The celebrity contestants? None other than an aging Leonardo da Vinci and a shockingly young Michelangelo. Manipulated by Machiavelli, the two masters enter into an artistic competition of sorts, painting dueling military murals -- in the same room, at the same time. Based on actual events, this unique drama was penned by former political columnist Michael Kramer, and is directed by Broadway veteran Michael Wilson.

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 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
