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 Feb 06 2012I really enjoyed this play. It was moving, and I was able to identify with the characters. You could feel the torment and emotion from the actors. A few of the minor actors could have been better, and the accent was unnecessary...wish they had changed the setting to a US city...but overall, it was pretty great!

Written on Nov 18 2011Generally strong cast and lucid staging. My only issue is that many elements are played for broad comedy without grounding it in truth (which works in more stylistic stagings) but then tries to present it as emotionally realistic. The lead could have been better, but Miles Heymann was fantastic.

Written on Nov 18 2011Here is a look back in time that validates the now popular axiom, "It gets better." As the play so well depicts, transforming long-held societal attitudes can be frustratingly slow...but can and do occur, resulting in positive change. Nicely done!

Written at a time in British history when the age of consent for homosexuals was five years older than for heterosexuals, legislation called Section 28 prohibited schools and local authorities from depicting homosexual relationships as an acceptable view of family life. While school was the setting for romance with Mr. Popular, John Westhead, Steven spent his life at home telling his parents what they wanted to hear. When fortune takes an unexpected turn, Steven discovers his feelings towards John are reciprocated. In order to discover "it gets better," sometimes you gotta get angry!
