Pursued by the relentless FBI agent Carl Hanratty, Frank’s escapades take him around the world, all while trying to escape his troubled past and win the affections of the girl of his dreams. As the stakes get higher and the chase intensifies, Frank must confront the consequences of his actions and decide what truly matters in life. Filled with catchy tunes, dynamic choreography, and a captivating story, “Catch Me If You Can” is a rollercoaster ride of excitement, humor, and heart. With themes of redemption, forgiveness, and the power of identity, this Tony-nominated musical is sure to entertain audiences of all ages.
