Margo Lion and Hal Luftig are lead producers of the Broadway show that will arrive at the Neil Simon Theatre March 7, 2011, prior to an April 10, 2011, Broadway opening. The Broadway production will have scenic design by David Rockwell, costume design by William Ivey Long, lighting by Kenneth Posner and sound design by Steve Kennedy. Rockwell and Posner were both represented in the 5th Avenue bow. Long replaces costume designer Bob Mackie.

Catch Me If You Can, according to the producers, "captures the astonishing true story of Frank Abagnale, Jr., a world-class con artist who passed 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, we're off on a jet-setting, cat-and-mouse chase, as a jazzy, swinging-sixties score keeps this adventure in constant motion. In the end, Agent Hanratty learns he and Frank aren't so very different after all, and Frank finds out what happens when love catches up to a man on the run."

Tickets for Catch Me If You Can are exclusively available to American Express card holders beginning Nov. 10 and will go on sale to the general public Nov. 28. Phone (877) 250-2929 or visit Ticketmaster.
