Review: CATCH ME IF YOU CAN at The Marriott Theatre is a Groovy, Far Out Nod to 60's Pop Culture
by James Lindhorst - Sep 4, 2025
Marriott Theater’s production of Catch Me If You Can works on every level. It is funny and ridiculously entertaining. The cast has immense chemistry, and their execution of the material is next level. It’s a Broadway quality production and is as close to musical theater perfection as a show can be. It could easily be transferred from Chicago to New York’s Circle in the Square as is, and it would likely outperform the original Broadway run. It is just that good.
Stopping short of using the must see cliché that was mentioned earlier, its highly recommended that if you are within a five-hour drive of Chicago, that you buy a ticket, jump in your car, make the drive and see this absolute gem of a show. It will likely be the among the best musicals you will see this year.What did our critic think of CATCH ME IF YOU CAN at Marriott Theatre?
