Teenage con artist Frank Abagnale Jr., desperate to reunite his divorced parents, runs away from home and assumes a series of dazzling false identities — airline pilot, doctor, lawyer — while forging millions in checks. FBI agent Carl Hanratty doggedly pursues Frank across the country, and as the chase intensifies, an unlikely mutual respect develops between the brilliant fugitive and the relentless lawman.

Catch Me If You Can is a musical drama with a libretto by Terrence McNally and a theatrical score by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman. It follows the story of a con artist named Frank Abagnale. A majority of the plot is borrowed from the 2002 film of the same name, which in turn was based on the 1980 autobiography of the same name by Abagnale and Stan Redding. After a tryout musical performance in Seattle in 2009, Catch Me If You Can opened at Broadway's Neil Simon Theatre in April 2011. The production received four Tony Awards nominations, including one for Best Musical, winning Best Actor in a Musical for Norbert Leo Butz.
