Catch Me If You Can

The award-winning McLean High School Theatre Company (MTC) premieres the musical Catch Me If You Can to the Metro DC area this April. Based on the hit DreamWorks film and the incredible true story that inspired it, Catch Me If You Can is the high-flying, splashy musical that tells the story of Frank Abagnale, Jr., a teenager who becomes a world-class con artist. With nothing more than his boyish charm, a big imagination and millions of dollars in forged checks, he passes himself off as a doctor, a lawyer, and a jet pilot – all before the age of 21. With straight-arrow FBI agent Carl Hanratty on Frank’s trail, audiences are off on a jet-setting chase, as the jazzy, swinging-sixties score keeps things in constant motion. Agent Hanratty chases Frank to the end … and finds something he never expected.
