Sometimes the most incredible stories are just not made up. Perhaps the most intriguing true story is of the unbelievable true story of one of the most famous con artists in history, Frank Abagnale Jr..
Catch Me If You Can is a rousing musical based on a book by Terrance McNally set in the 1960’s. The con artist, Frank Abagnale, Jr. and the Federal Agent, Carl Hanratty open the musical as Frank is being captured by Hanratty. After years and years of being pursued by Nanratty, Frank thinks the audience deserves to hear his version of the truth, and narrates his life as a hip, dance-heavy variety television show.
