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

report as inappropriateNot a bad story but Needs alot of work! This is no Promises, Promises. No memorable songs, no dancing, lots of slow dragging dialogue. No need for this show to try for Broadway--needs a complete revamping. What were they doing for the last 4 years? Will probably take another 4 years to pull it all together. Needs an intermission so audience can wake up--kept dozing off & it was a 7pm curatian. Hope Burt sees its completion. Sorry! but honest.
report as inappropriateThe intimate setting of the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre was the perfect venue for this new musical by Burt Bacharach. These experienced Broadway performers carried us through a rather dark history of their on-again, off-again relationship. Like much of Bacharach's work ("A House Is Not a Home," "There's Always Something There to Remind Me,") the show is about how romance can scar AND leave one feeling haunted, especially with his trademark melodies and unresolved chords. This is not a hit-making show, a la Promises, Promises, but it does not aspire to be. It is a chamber piece, the work of a great popular composer in his autumn years, and under the gloss and polish of the performers, the show has a very tarnished and lived-in feeling. It's very adult, and certainly does not have a Disney ending. But in the end I found it to be an exceptional, very moving work of musical theater.
