Catch him if you can…
It’s the 1960s, and teenager Frank Abagnale Jr. is ready to make his mark on the world. Armed with charm, confidence and a talent for deception, he runs away from home and begins an extraordinary adventure – posing as a pilot, a doctor and a lawyer, all while living the high life.
There’s just one problem. FBI Agent Carl Hanratty is on his trail – and he’s determined to catch him.
Based on the incredible true story that inspired the hit film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks, Catch Me If You Can is a fast-paced, high-flying musical comedy packed with sharp humour, spectacular choreography and a sensational swinging score from Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, the award-winning writers behind Hairspray.
Beneath the glamour, lies and larger-than-life adventures is a story about family, identity and a young man searching for somewhere – and someone – to call home.
Fasten your seatbelts and join us at the Factory Playhouse. The chase is on.
