*SYNOPSIS*

Based on the hit film and the incredible true story, Ca*tch 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.
