Frank Abagnale Jr. Talks Aaron Tveit: 'A True Star on the Rise'

Aaron Tveit - next to normal's original 'Superboy', RENT's rocker Roger at the Hollywood Bowl, and soon to be CATCH ME IF YOU CAN's most charming con artist - was featured in the April issue of Vanity Fair.  For a piece co-written by Frank Abagnale Jr., the real-life inspiration behind CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, Tveit was photographed in the Rusty Knot in NYC.

Of the production, Abagnale enthused, "A show by the Broadway dream team that gave us HAIRSPRAY will move you to live life to the fullest and dance past anything standing in your way."

He was no less impressed with the show's star, saying: "[To be portrayed by] Aaron, a true star on the rise, is humbling to say the least."

CATCH ME IF YOU CAN stars Tony Award winner Norbert Leo Butz as Carl Hanratty, Aaron Tveit as Frank Abagnale, Jr., Tony Nominee Tom Wopat as Frank Abagnale, Sr. and Tony Nominee Kerry Butler as Brenda Strong. This new musical, created by a team of Tony winners, features a book byTerrence McNally, music by Marc Shaiman, lyrics by Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman, choreography by Jerry Mitchell and is directed by Jack O'Brien.

The production is based on the book and hit 2002 DreamWorks film of the same name directed by Stephen Spielberg with screenplay by Jeff Nathanson and book by Frank Abagnale, Jr. Tickets for CATCH ME IF YOU CAN are available via Ticketmaster.com/ 877-250-2929 and at The Neil Simon Theatre Box Office, 250 W. 52nd Street.
