STAGE TUBE: 'CATCH ME IF YOU CAN' - Tom Wopat Sings '50 Checks'

Adapted from the screenplay by Jeff Nathanson and the book written by Frank Abagnale Jr. and Stan Redding, the original musical CATCH ME IF YOU CAN boasts a book by four-time Tony Award-winner Terrence McNally, who joins forces with the collaborative team behind the hit musical Hairspray (which also premiered at the 5th), including five-time Tony Award-winning director Jack O'Brien, Tony Award-winning choreographer Jerry Mitchell, and Tony Award-winning composing team Marc Shaiman (music & lyrics) and Scott Wittman (lyrics).

"Catch" a sneak peek right here on STAGE TUBE! Stage veteran Tom Wopat (Frank Abagnale Sr.) croons "50 Checks" from the world premiere of Catch Me If You Can the musical. Catch Me If You Can plays its world premiere at The 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle July 28-August 16.

CATCH ME IF YOU CAN is the unbelievable yet true story of Frank Abagnale, Jr., a sexy young con artist who posed, and was employed, as a doctor, lawyer and Pan Am pilot all before he was 21. Carl Hanratty, a middle-aged bored FBI agent, comes alive when assigned to catch this charming swindler whose check-forging skills have netted him more than $2.8 million. The battle of wills intensifies as they become curious about one another and begin to question what they're each chasing in their own lives. With a score soaked in the jazzy, swingin' '60s jet-set culture, the game of cat and mouse has never been so stylish.

The scenic design for CATCH ME IF YOU CAN is by Tony Nominee David Rockwell(Hairspray, Legally Blonde), costume design is by Bob Mackie (Minnelli on Minnelli, "TheCarol Burnett Show") and lighting design is by Tony Award winner Kenneth Posner(Wicked, Hairspray). The music director for CATCH ME IF YOU CAN is John McDaniel. Orchestrations for the musical are by Larry Blank and Marc Shaiman.
