REVIEW: "Catch Me If You Can" Musical @SegerstromArts #CatchMeOC #SCFTA

 "Catch Me If You Can" was truly an enjoyable experience!  I was skeptical at first and unsure of how this amazing story could transform on stage into a Broadway hit, but I must admit that this musical adaptation from the storyline was impressive, and I liked it better than the movie (2002 Steven Spielberg movie adaptation).  The show was able to capture the true story of Frank Abagnale, Jr., who, all before his 21st birthday, successfully performed cons worth millions of dollars through writing fraudulent checks, by posing as a Pan American World Airways jet pilot, a Georgia pediatric doctor, and a Louisiana attorney.  Everything was amazing - acting, vocal, costume, dance, music, and overall staging.  From start to finish, the cast delivered an incredibly high energy Broadway performance.  It was definitely very fun and entertaining to watch!

Great show for a Girls Night Out (GNO) although my husband would thoroughly enjoy this as well for a Date Night. TIP: I suggest catching dinner beforehand and arriving early for it's pre-show activities which was pleasantly entertaining and interactive (see picture above). 

If you're a true Broadway musical fan, this is the show for you!
