By: Louisa Brady
Diamond Head Theatre (DHT) proudly presents Catch Me If You Can! Based on the hit DreamWorks® film and the incredible true story that inspired it, Catch Me If You Can is a high-flying Broadway musical that tells the story of Frank W. Abagnale, Jr., a teenager who runs away from home in search of the glamorous life.
With nothing more than his 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. But when Frank's lies catch the attention of FBI agent Carl Hanratty, Carl chases Frank to the end ... and finds something he never expected. Catch Me If You Can features New York guest artist and former Shooting Star, Aleks Pevec as Frank Abagnale, Jr. He is joined by Zack Oldham as Carl Hanratty, Laurence Paxton as Frank Abagnale, Sr., Fabienne Flandre-Herold as Paula Abagnale and Samantha Stoltzfus as Brenda Strong.
