Today a pilot, tomorrow a well-off doctor, the day after tomorrow an influential lawyer. The life of Frank William Abagnale Jr. sounds like a dream. But he can do one thing above all: forge cheques, make women's hearts beat faster, escape his own life and masterfully fool the FBI. Until he really falls in love. In 2002, Steven Spielberg brought the true story of a con man to the cinemas, which composer Marc Shaiman, known for his musical Hairspray among other things, brought to Broadway almost ten years later - as a fast-paced crook comedy and declaration of love to the jazzy Broadway sound of the 1960s.
