Catch Me If You Can, a new musical based on the hit movie of the same name, begins previews at Broadway's Neil Simon Theatre.
Catch Me If You Can includes a score by the Hairspray team of Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman and a book by Terrence McNally. Centering on the true story of Frank Abagnale Jr., a world class con artist who passed himself off as a doctor, lawyer and jet pilot, Catch Me If You Can charts the cat-and-mouse chase between Frank and straight-arrow FBI agent Carl Hanratty, set to a swinging-sixties score that keeps the adventure in constant motion.
