CATCH ME IF YOU CAN earned positive Seattle reviews and ends its limited three week Seattle run today, Sunday, August 16th.

Variety is reporting on CATCH ME IF YOU CAN's positive Seattle reviews and how that 'generally upbeat reception' from the local press relates to the production's Broadway odds. The verdict in the trade publication is that things are looking good.

The 5th Avenue Theatre started off their season with the world premiere, pre broadway engagement of the musical 'Catch Me If You Can' based on the Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio film. And as one who has been very vocally against the trend of turning movies into musicals, I have to back pedal on that a bit and admit that when it's done well, it can be an amazing experience. And this show is the closest thing to a perfect new show that I?ve seen in awhile.
