Arizona Broadway Theatre Catches International Con Man

Arizona Broadway Theatre presents the regional premiere of Catch Me If You Can July 13 - August 14. Immortalized in both the page-turning autobiography and the hit movie starring Leonardo di Caprio and Tom Hanks, Catch Me If You Can is the high-flying musical comedy that tells the true story of con man Frank Abagnale, Jr. - a brazen young man who fooled some of the best security in the world. This delightfully entertaining show is packed full of 1960s Pan Am glamour with a book by Tony Award-winning American playwright Terrence McNally (The Full Monty, Ragtime). Catch Me If You Can will have you examining the doctor's license on the wall a little more closely!

Sal Pavia (Hairspray) returns to the ABT stage as the engaging and slippery Frank Jr. Also returning to the ABT stage are Matthew Mello (Jesus Christ Superstar, Rock of Ages) as FBI Agent Carl Hanratty, Jason Plourde (South Pacific, Man of La Mancha, Jesus Christ Superstar) as Frank Sr., Carolyn McPhee (The Bridges of Madison County, Hands on a Hardbody, Camelot) as Paula, Megan Moylan (Legally Blonde) as Brenda, Christopher Cody Cooley (Show Boat) as Todd Branton, and Lauren Morgan (South Pacific, Saturday Night Fever, Beauty and the Beast).

Making their ABT debut will be Amy Burgmaier as Carol Strong, Olin Davidson as Johnny Dollar, Tyler T. Simms as Bill Cod, and ensemble members Lauren Alagna, Demi Ahlert, Brooke Martino, Samantha Ross, Caelan Creaser, Stephen C. Kallas, James Du Chateau, Charles Pang, David Couter, and Sebastian Goldberg.
