Broadway Hit “Catch Me If You Can” Flies Into The Colony Theatre This September

The Colony Theatre in Burbank has officially announced the cast and creative team for its upcoming production of the high-flying Broadway musical, Catch Me If You Can. Under the leadership of Producing Artistic Director Heather Provost, this “big, bold, and fun” production is set to bring a splash of Broadway spectacle to the local community.

A True Story of Charm and Deception

Based on the hit 2002 Dreamworks motion picture, the musical tells the incredible true story of Frank W. Abagnale, Jr.. A young runaway with a big imagination and a knack for forgery, Frank successfully poses as a pilot, doctor, and lawyer—all while swindling millions of dollars in checks. The high-stakes chase begins when FBI agent Carl Hanratty takes the case, leading to a conclusion that neither man expected.

The show features a book by Terrence McNally and a vibrant score by the Tony-winning team of Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray). The original 2011 Broadway production earned four Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical.

Star-Studded Cast and Creative Team

The production is helmed by 10-time Artios Award-winner Michael Donovan, who previously directed The Colony’s 2025 hit The Wedding Singer. Joining him are choreographer Natalie Iscovich (known for work on General Hospital and national tours) and musical director Brent Crayon.

The cast features a blend of television stars and Broadway veterans:

• Blake Jenner (Glee, The Edge of Seventeen).
• Joe Abraham (The Little Mermaid, Hairspray on Broadway).
• Kevin Bailey (Original Broadway casts of The Lion King and Annie Get Your Gun).
• Leslie Stevens (Original Broadway casts of La Cage Aux Folles and Victor/Victoria).
• Gabbie Adner, Brad Griffith, and Whitney Kathleen Vigil.

The ensemble includes Leonel Ayala, Matthew Mason Baker, Johnisa Breault, Luc Clopton, Sophie Liu David, Spencer Del Carmen, Jesse Graham, Anne Hart, Caleb Kocsis, Samantha Lawrence-Mata, Almand Martin Jr., and Lucy Schene.
