The Broadway production of Catch Me If You Can, playing the Neil Simon Theatre through September 4, will hold a contest with the prize being a meet-and-greet with the musical’s star, Aaron Tveit.

On Thursday, August 25, ticketholders can fill out a ballot at the Neil Simon Theater box office at 5pm. Valid tickets to that evening’s 7pm performance must be presented in order to enter, and there is a limit of one entry per guest. At 6pm, under the theatre marquee, Tveit will draw three winning ballots, each one awarding access for two to his dressing room after the show, in addition to an autograph, picture, and glass of champagne or soda.

Catch Me If You Can centers on a world-class con artist who is pursued by a straight-arrow FBI agent. It features a book by Terrence McNally, music by Shaiman, and lyrics by Shaiman and Scott Wittman, and is based on the book and hit 2002 DreamWorks film of the same name.

Tveit, who stars as Frank Abagnale, Jr., received 2011 Drama League, Outer Critics Circle and Fred Astaire Award nominations for his performance in the show. He also received the 2009 Actors Equity Association Clarence Derwent Award for Most Promising Actor, a Helen Hayes Award, and a Lucille Lortel nomination for his work originating the role of the son, Gabe, in the Pulitzer prize winning Broadway musical Next To Normal.
