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 Apr 27 2009The performance my boyfriend and I went to was almost sold out. We don't agree with some of the other reviews. We felt that everyone knew their lines, with one exception of a slip but that got everyone laughing. The intimate experience of the small theater was great. I feel that you have to either be someone that enjoys the unusual or you have to already have a love for FSM. Having known about his great noodleliness for a couple of years now, my boyfriend and I both enjoyed ourselves!

Written on Apr 20 2009I'm glad I didn't pay full price for this. Some of the actors were good, but the ones who weren't took away from the rest of their performances. And it seems like the cast could have benefitted from some more rehersal time.
It was an okay event, good for entertaining out of town friends, but not something I'd recommend in general.

Description
<p>By Jeremy Gable</p> <p>Finally, a celebration of the world’s newest and quite possibly best religious movement, Pastafarianism! Landless Theatre presents the DC Premiere of The Flying Spaghetti Monster Holiday Pageant, a ridiculous, fast-paced comedy written by Jeremy Gable of California's Hunger Artist Theatre.</p> <p>Founded in 2005 by physics graduate Bobby Henderson to protest the decision by the Kansas State Board of Education to require the teaching of intelligent design as an alternative to biological evolution, The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster venerates a supernatural Creator that resembles spaghetti and meatballs.</p> <p>In his Noodly Wisdom, the Flying Spaghetti Monster created the world out of trees, a mountain and a midget. To prove the existence of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, Henderson has graphed a correlation between the decline of pirates and the rise of global warming.</p> <p>The play picks up after the Kansas State Board of Education decision to add Intelligent Design to its curriculum. School teacher Ms. Fism can't keep up with the number of religions that she has to teach. For Week 37: Flying Spaghetti Monsterism, the audience is treated to an Old School holiday pageant with pirates, strippers and a beer volcano (!) From the beginning of the world (including the aforementioned trees, mountains and a midget) to present-day (with contemporary Internet prophet Bobby Henderson), it's a celebration of free speech, religious freedom, diversity, equality, and of course, pasta.</p>
