Laughter is Catching At the Academy of Music's Presentation of Catch Me If You Can

 

The musical Catch Me If You Can is coming to Philadelphia so get your tickets now to catch this laugh out loud production based on the real life story of Frank W. Abagnale Jr. who conned his way in and out cities across the United States.

 

Tony Award®-winning director Jack O'Brien's latest Broadway production, based on a film directed by Steven Spielberg for Dreamworks, comes to the Philadelphia Academy of Music Tuesday, January 15-Sunday, January 20, 2012, so mark your calendar and save a night to enjoy this show with friends and family.

Laugh as you watch FBI agent Carl Hanratty chase con man extraordinaire Frank W. Abagnale Jr. as he uses his legendary charm, boyish good looks and imagination to go from one con to another kiting checks to pay for his expensive life style on the lamb, always staying one step ahead of the law. Not only does he outwit the law, he falls in love and gets the girl (truly a story perfect for a Broadway musical!) Hanratty is obsessed with catching Frank Jr. and watching 'the chase' is half the fun!

O'Brien is famous for his productions of playwrights from Shakespeare to Tom Stoppard, and he has also received acclaim for directing Broadway musicals including Hairspray, The Full Monty and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Now he adds Catch Me If You Can to his list of  hits. The show was created by a Tony Award®-winning 'dream team,' with book by Terrence McNally (The Full Monty, Ragtime), score by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray), choreography by Jerry Mitchell (Hairspray, Legally Blonde). Teams that have previously wowed audiences with their expertise on the stage, the combination once again will have you on your feet clapping by the end of the show.
