WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
MUST CLOSE SEPTEMBER 4th!
Nominated for 4 Tony Awards including Best Musical!
Catch Me If You Can captures the astonishing true story of Frank Abagnale, Jr. (Aaron Tveit), a world-class con artist who passed himself off as a doctor, a lawyer, and a jet pilot--all before the age of 21. With straight-arrow FBI agent Carl Hanratty (Norbert Leo Butz) on Frank's trail, we're off on a jet-setting, cat-and-mouse chase, as a jazzy, swinging-sixties score keeps this adventure in constant motion. In the end, Agent Hanratty learns he and Frank aren't so very different after all, and Frank finds out what happens when love catches up to a man on the run.

CATCH ME IF YOU CAN
I was hoping that he would get caught by the first act curtain so that I could leave. What a dreadful score, dreary choreography and a most annoying characterization by Norbert L. Butz. He came off as such a buffoon and totally unbelievable character and I really had to look away when he was on stage. Only Tom Wopat brought some humanity and dimension to the evening.
Are all musicals destined to have a Rockets kick line. I know the out of towners think its great but enough already. Leave it to the owners at the Music Hall where it works

Offensively bad
The music was boring. The plot line was ridiculous for stage. The cast was amazingly talented but everything still seemed a bit sloppy. All in all, this musical was offensive to my senses as a theater-lover. I feel like my pocket book was violated.

The myriad producers of the new musical Catch Me If You Can, now at
the Neil Simon Theatre, deserve to pat themselves -- and each other -- on the
back for hiring the wonderful Norbert Leo Butz, who immeasurably enlivens the intermittently involving proceedings as frumpy FBI man Carl Hanratty, who chases young imposter Frank Abagnale Jr. (Aaron Tveit) across the country.
Frank -- the 16-year-old runaway son of divorcing parents Frank Sr. (Tom Wopat) and Paula (Rachel de Benedet) -- flees from New Rochelle to New York City, where he cashes a million dollars worth of counterfeit checks, after which, the young lad successfully passes himself off first as a high-flying Pan Am pilot and, then, [...]
