CATCH ME IF YOU CAN gave special performance last week, post-security at Terminal 5 (T5) at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. Click below to check out Frank Abagnale Jr. understudy Jay Armstrong Johnson singing 'Goodbye,' and Carl Hanratty understudy Joe Cassidy singing 'Don't Break the Rules.'

"The next best thing to a JetBlue pilot is a singing Broadway pilot," said JetBlue manager of brand and partnerships Lisa Borromeo.

CATCH ME IF YOU CAN is the high-flying new musical comedy based on the hit DreamWorks film and the incredible true story that inspired it! Fast-rising Broadway headliner Aaron Tveit (Next to Normal, Wicked) stars as Frank W. Abagnale, Jr., a teenager who runs away from home in search of the glamorous life. With nothing more than a boyish charm, a big imagination and millions of dollars in forgEd Checks, Frank successfully poses as a pilot, a doctor and a lawyer - living the high life and winning the girl of his dreams (played by Tony® nominee Kerry Butler (Xanadu, Hairspray). Tony winner and Broadway fave Norbert Leo Butz (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Wicked) plays Carl Hanratty, the dogged FBI agent who chases Frank to the end and finds something he never expected. And Tony nominee Tom Wopat (Annie Get Your Gun, Chicago) returns to Broadway as Frank, Sr., who sees his dreams of making it big lived out in his son's fantastic adventures.

CATCH ME features a Tony Award-winning creative team, with a book by Terrence McNally (The Full Monty, Ragtime), an irresistible score by Marc Shaiman & Scott Wittman (Hairspray), choreography by Jerry Mitchell (Hairspray, Legally Blonde) and direction by Jack O'Brien (Hairspray, The Full Monty, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels).
