    CATCH ME IF YOU CAN TOUR FLIES INTO

    NASHVILLE FOR LIMITED ENGAGEMENT

    New musical based on the astonishing true story of world-class con artist Frank Abagnale, Jr.

    Catch Me If You CanNASHVILLE – Based on the hit DreamWorks film and the incredible true story that inspired it, the first national tour of the high-flying Broadway musical CATCH ME IF YOU CAN will land in Nashville at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center’s Andrew Jackson Hall for a limited engagement January 22-27.

    Tickets start at $15 and are on sale now at www.tpac.org, by calling (615) 782-4040, and at the TPAC Box Office, 505 Deaderick Street, in downtown Nashville. For groups of 10 or more, call (615) 782-4060.

    CATCH ME IF YOU CAN 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.

    Catch Me If You Can“Even if you’re not familiar with Frank’s amazing life story or the Steven Spielberg film, you will be drawn in by this fabulous new musical,” said Kathleen O’Brien, TPAC president and chief executive officer. “When I saw it for the first time, I was so blown away that I knew we had to bring it to Nashville. It mixes the vintage feel of the swinging 1960s with fresh show-stopping musical numbers and choreography. It’s just an incredibly fun and heartwarming show.”
    Due to the high contents of healthful substances and nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids, fiber as well as the sensational antioxidant quantity of the small berry, it is regarded as an (cheap cialis) Going Here organic superfood.

    CATCH ME IF YOU CAN is based on Frank Abagnale’s New York Times bestselling autobiography, published by Broadway Paperbacks, and the hit 2002 film of the same name directed by Steven Spielberg with screenplay by Jeff Nathanson and book by Frank Abagnale, Jr.
