Nominated for four Tony awards, including Best Musical, “Catch Me If You Can: The Musical” is a high-flying, jazz-infused spectacle based on the unbelievable true story of Frank Abagnale Jr., a teenage con artist who poses as a pilot, doctor and lawyer while evading the FBI and agent Carl Hanratty as he pursues his dreams of fame and fortune.
