by Setdesigner on 5/18/13Fisher Theatre - DetroitGreat show. The vocal talent was outstanding. Memorable songs and an excellent cast, orchestra and crew. Thanks to all for a fantastic evening.
Rating: 2 out of 5 "Catch Me If You Can" isn't worth the chase!
by bonafides on 5/17/13Fisher Theatre - DetroitThis show is presented as a 1960s variety show without the power of the stars who were the guests and hosts/hostesses. Instead, it is a collection of all the annoying 1960s psychodelic video projections (think "Hullabaloo"), and filler segments (think white bell-bottomed dancers doing the "Pony"). The subject, Frank Abagnale, Jr, may have made for a passable stage play, but musical material it is NOT. This is one of those shows were it actually on TV, you would watch if there was absolutely nothing else on.

by Tapinfool on 5/14/13Fisher Theatre - DetroitWhat a great afternoon! The staging was fascinating. Loved the set. Great voices. Such an interesting story and so amazing when you realize it really happened.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Catch me if you can was well played out
by Joelamster on 5/14/13Fisher Theatre - DetroitI was looking more for a acting type play. That said, being that it was more of a musical I was not completely disappointed. It was well organized and followed the story line pretty good. Some scenes from the movie were left out, but I was not disappointed at that. My next play will be something that I have not seen yet as a movie. I'd like to see cats or rent now that I got my feet wet in theatre.

by YodaOfCanton on 5/14/13Fisher Theatre - Detroit"Catch Me If You Can" is a fun way to spend a few hours. I wondered how this story of a young con artist who never stayed in one place for very long could be told on the stage. The sets and scene transitions allow the fast paced story to be told seamlessly. There are no catchy songs, but I enjoyed them none-the-less. The cast has a lot of energy! It's contagious.

by CLCJ on 5/13/13Fisher Theatre - DetroitThe Fisher Theater is spectacular. We had great seats. The musical, however, was just so-so. It just seemed to drag. Staging was just OK. . kind of boring though.
