Topic > Catch Me If You Can: review and interpretation of the film

ReviewI got to see Catch Me If You Can recently with my grandmother. It was based on the book by Terrance McNally with lyrics written by Scott Wittman and Marc Shaiman and music by Marc Shaiman. It was directed by Keith Dixon. It was performed on the main stage of the Spokane Civic Theater in Spokane, Washington. I saw it on Sunday, October 18, 2015. It aired from September 18 to October 18. It was played from Thursday to Sunday. From Thursday to Saturday it played at 7.30pm and on Sunday at 2pm. Tickets were $22 for students, $28 for seniors/military and $30 for general admission.

They wanted us to be involved and follow the story of Frank Abgnadle Jr. I think the show achieved that. I told the story of Frank Jr. and a lot of the comedy bits. I liked the play and wish I could see it again. I especially liked it for the plot. The lead actors also played their parts well. I'll address this topic again, but I'll move on to the topic of the show. The show is set in the late 1960s and actually takes place all over the United States! The story follows Frank Abgnadle Jr. and FBI agent Carl as he tries to capture Frank. Frank runs away from home at 16 and using his intelligence manages to forge checks worth millions of dollars and become a doctor, pilot and lawyer. FBI agent Carl discovers Frank's forgeries and sets out to capture him. The climax occurs when Frank wants to marry a girl named Brenda and tells her to meet him at the airport. The FBI follows Brenda and manages to capture Frank. One of the elements of the production that I thought was effective were the main actors. The actor who played Frank jr. for example, using his facial expressions definitely personified Frank. He played an intelligent young man who tries his best to make it in the world (and succeeds quite well) just through his facial expressions and the way he speaks. Another example is the actor who played FBI agent Carl. His movements and voice inflections gave the impression of a 1960s style FBI agent! Also, by his appearance (a bigger, older gentleman) he could be an agent from the 1960s. The final example of good acting was the actor who played Brenda. She played a young girl in love well. You could always tell when he had an emotion. And when he sang the farewell song about Frank, it made me want to cry! This is an element that I believe made the production effective. Another element that I felt was effective in achieving the goal of the show was the singing and dancing. The choreography was fast paced and the dancers created a fun environment. The singing and music were also fast-paced and created a 60s vibe. The songs were fun and added character to the characters. They also helped explain the character's personalities better. This is the second element I feel added to the show. I think the production was worth making. It told a true and interesting story. The story also had themes about the importance of family and finding oneself. The actors played their parts well. The scenes were set well. He achieved his goal. So it was worth doing the show.
