Based on the hit DreamWorks film starring Leo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks, with music by Marc Shaiman, lyrics by Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman, and a book by Terrence McNally, this splashy spectacle follows the high-flying adventures of a globetrotting con artist. Seeking fame and fortune, Frank Abagnale, Jr. runs away from home to begin an unforgettable adventure. With nothing more than his boyish charm, a big imagination, and millions of dollars in forged checks, Frank successfully poses as a number of people to live the high life. When Frank's lies catch the attention of FBI agent, Carl Hanratty, though, Carl pursues Frank across the country to make him pay for his crimes.
The cast stars Casey Huls (Frank Abagnale Jr.) in his Chicago debut. SF&T company members Billy Surges (Carl Hanratty), Amanda Donohoe (Brenda Strong), Annie Beaubien (Paula Abagnale), and Ian Rigg (Frank Abagnale Sr.), round out the lead roles. Additional SF&T veterans Alex Iacobucci (Johnny Dollar) and Will Knox (Multiple Roles) bring the supporting characters to life. Surging Newcomers Whitney Willard Wilkinson (Carol Strong/Ensemble), James Mueller (Agent Cod), Lukas Ptacek (Agent Branton), Eve Moyar (Cheryl Ann), Sara Dolins (Ensemble), Flower Wang (Ensemble), Sarah Beth Lipsman (Ensemble), Gabriella Smurawa (Ensemble), And Amber Golich (Ensemble) round out this all star ensemble of a cast.
SF&T's Artistic Director, Billy Surges, has brought back his talented team of Tim Huggenberger, fresh off his 2022 Chicago Jeff Nomination for Urinetown, for Choreography and Daven Taba for Music Direction. Joining the Surging team is Madison Meeron in her Chicago Directorial debut.
