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 Aug 19 2012I've heard curse words before I can handle that , but in the begining of the show I felt it was to crude and didn't have to be as much. But as it went on I liked the music ,the energy and the voices of the actors. It was all really good. By the end of the show I really liked it. I would recommend it to anyone who likes rock or Green Day,

Written on Jul 13 2012The story was realistic and still so very relevant. The music and dancing to tell the story was exciting. Hardly any dialogue, which I thought would be a problem for me...but much to my pleasant surprise..it wasn't. It was like a rocked out opera.

Written on Jul 09 2012We had the TIME OF OUR LIVES. Show was excellent. Seats were very good, last row of orchestra in the center left. Very rocking show, high energy, 90 minutes no intermission, no talking just music. Would highly recommend. Was surprised that theatre was packed on a July 4 matinee!

Description
Slinging razor guitars, thundering drums and an anti-hero named Johnny. Not the prelude of typical entries in the canon of musical theater. But these elements herald a groundbreaking American musical all the same: with the burning passion of characters who yearn for something more, songs bursting with emotion and a story that dares you to feel and celebrate and hope.
The music of Green Day and the lyrics of lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong captured the zeitgeist of a generation with its Grammy® Award-winning multi-platinum album. American Idiot puts those raw emotions front and center in a highly theatrical and thoroughly satisfying rock opera that burns up the stage.
Monster hits like “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” “21 Guns,” “Wake Me Up When September Ends,” “Holiday” and the title track soar like they were written for the stage under the direction of Tony Award winner Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening), choreography by Olivier Award winner Steven Hoggett (Black Watch) and music supervision, orchestrations and arrangements by Pulitzer Prize winner Tom Kitt (Next to Normal).
The performance runs 90 minutes with no intermission and is recommended for audiences ages 10 years old and older.
