Catch Me If You Can premiered on Broadway in 2011 and was nominated for four Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The show has a book by Terrence McNally, music by Marc Shaiman, and lyrics by Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman. It is based on the 2002 Dreamworks motion picture. The production is directed by 10-time Artios Award-winner Michael Donovan, director of The Colony’s 2025 smash hit production of The Wedding Singer.

Catch Me If You Can is a high-flying, splashy Broadway musical that tells the true story of Frank W. Abagnale, Jr., who runs away from home in search of the glamorous life. With nothing more than his boyish charm, a big imagination, and millions of dollars in forged checks, Frank successfully poses as a pilot, a doctor, and a lawyer – living the high life and winning the girl of his dreams. But when Frank’s lies catch the attention of FBI agent Carl Hanratty, Carl chases Frank to the end … and finds something he never expected.
