As a teenage runaway from a broken home, Frank ditches high school in pursuit of the American dream. To survive, he masquerades as a Pan Am pilot, a doctor and a lawyer (and cashes millions of dollars in bad checks!) all before the age of 19. Based on a true story, Frank’s high-flying adventure of luxury and beautiful women won’t cover the bill to put his family back together, and as his schemes become more fantastic he begins to lose himself in his own game. With each con he pulls off, a dedicated FBI agent named Carl Hanratty is one step closer to the ultimate catch: the real Frank Abagnale, Jr.
Based on the DreamWorks motion picture and the unbelievable life story that inspired it, Catch Me If You Can hits the Seattle stage as an exciting new musical. Created by the Tony Award-winning team who brought us Hairspray and starring a top tier Broadway cast, this thrilling musical will have audiences chasing its extraordinary young con-man right up to the heart-stopping conclusion.
