Catch Me If You Can is a musical drama based on the 2002 Steven Spielberg film of the same name, which itself is based on the true story of Frank Abagnale Jr. . The musical features a libretto by Terrence McNally and a score by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.
The story follows Frank Abagnale Jr., a young con artist who successfully impersonates a variety of professionals, including a pilot, a doctor, and a lawyer, all before his 21st birthday. FBI agent Carl Hanratty is hot on his trail, but Frank is always one step ahead. The musical explores themes of identity, father-son relationships, and the allure of the fast life.
Catch Me If You Can premiered on Broadway in 2011 and was nominated for four Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The original Broadway production starred Aaron Tveit as Frank Abagnale Jr. and Norbert Leo Butz as Carl Hanratty.
