*Catch Me If You Can Auditions*

Book by Terrence McNally and Music by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman

*Synopsis:* Based on the hit film and the incredible true story, Catch Me
If You Can is the high-flying musical comedy about chasing your dreams and
not getting caught. Seeking fame and fortune, precocious teenager, Frank
Abignale, Jr., runs away from home to begin an unforgettable adventure.
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.
When Frank's lies catch the attention of FBI agent, Carl Hanratty, though,
Carl pursues Frank across the country to make him pay for his crimes.
