‘Catch Me If You Can’ Musical Will Delay Previews

Producers for Catch Me If You Can on Broadway have delayed the start of the musical’s preview shows from March 7 to March 11. The show will be in the Neil Simon Theatre. This change in schedule comes from the previous show at the theater extending its run in addition to massive snowfalls in New York cancelling shows.

Catch Me If You Can is based on a book and film by the same name. The film version stars Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio. The musical has music and lyrics by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.

The musical tells the story of Frank Abagnale, Jr., a master con artist who pretended to be a pilot, doctor, and lawyer while staying one step ahead of the FBI who was on his tail for check fraud.

The musical will star Aaron Tveit and Norbert Leo Butz in the lead roles. Both have appeared on Broadway before and have recently appeared in television roles.
