Catch Me If You Can, the Musical

Based on the DreamWorks Motion Picture with a Book by Terrence McNally, Music by Marc Shaiman and Lyrics by Scott Whittman & Marc Shaiman, this high-flying musical comedy (from Broadway’s dream team) explores the true story of a precocious teenager turned world-class con artist and the straight-shooting FBI agent hot in pursuit. The cat-and-mouse chase swings into action with a jazzy score and jet-setting pace that culminates with both men finding purpose where they least expect. Based on the hit film, the musical delivers a big, bright spectacular, high-energy numbers, and a riveting story.
