Catch Me If You Can is based on the true story of Frank Abagnale Jr., a young man who began his life as a con artist while he was still in his teens.
Frank spent his childhood idolizing his charismatic father but when his family began to fall apart, Frank took it upon himself to make a better life using masterfully forged checks and his own brand of Abagnale charm. He spends most of the 1960’s successfully pretending to be a doctor, lawyer, and commercial jet pilot. Along the way he manages to bed beautiful women and soon falls in love with a young nurse named Brenda Strong. Their love is strained as unrelenting FBI agent Carl Hanratty is hot on Frank’s tail – eventually following him to Europe. You can’t help but find yourself cheering for Frank, even as he commits an endless stream of crimes and tells ever more elaborate lies.

Reno lounge singer Deloris Van Cartier thought she had it all – a great job, sexy boyfriend, and all the glitz and glamour a woman could ask for. But when Deloris witnesses her boyfriend murder a man in his club, she is forced into police protective custody acting as a nun living in a convent in San Francisco. She is forced to look and act the part down to the stuffy nun’s habit. Deloris is immediately at odds with the strict lifestyle and uptight Mother Superior who doesn’t approve of Deloris’ fast lifestyle. Eventually, the two find some middle ground and Deloris is able to breathe some life into the church by involving the other nuns in some community outreach projects that become wildly successful. Deloris’ cover is eventually blown and she is forced to run but is helped along the way by her new sisters.

Turn up that dial! From the underground dance clubs of 1950s Memphis, Tennessee, by way of hit runs at the La Jolla Playhouse and Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre, comes a hot new Broadway musical with heart, soul and energy to burn.
She's a black singer whose career is on the rise, but who can't break out of segregated clubs. He's a white radio DJ whose love of music transcends race lines and airwaves. When the two collaborate, her soulful music reaches radio audiences everywhere, and the Golden Era of early rock 'n' roll takes flight. But as things start to heat up, whether the world is really ready for their music - or their love - is put to the test.
A thrilling theatrical event that combines Broadway splendor with the roots of rock, MEMPHIS features a story by Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change), an original score by David Bryan (Bon Jovi), direction by Christopher Ashley (Xanadu) and choreography by Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys).

Peppering this hilariously bumpy ride are some of musical theater’s most memorable standards, including “I Get a Kick out of You,” “You’re the Top,“ “It’s De-lovely,” and of course, “Anything Goes.”

Dark Comedy
This new show will have you laughing and scratching your head at the same time.
This highly original new play by Moises Kaufman gives us a chance to laugh at a topic that has been a constantly serious subject in the American Psyche for way too long.
Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo Broadway show is the story of a mangy Bengal tiger held captive at the zoo in Baghdad, Iraq. The tiger (narrated by Robin Williams) deftly tells the story of two American Marine soldiers, two sons of Saddam Hussein, an Iraqi gardener, and a couple of other characters along the way – all caught up in the drama of the Iraqi War and the violence of Baghdad. This brave show is both dark and funny at the same time. There is a theme of war throughout and the violence is not for the faint of heart. Somehow, the show manages to toe the line between overly violent and inappropriately funny and ends up being an incredible production that everyone should see.
Bengal Tiger makes its premiere at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in New York City on March 11, 2011. The show made its world debut in Los Angeles in 1999 and was a finalist for last year’s Pulitzer Prize for drama – losing out to the incredible Next to Normal. The New York opening will also mark the Broadway debut of acting legend Robin Williams.

By following the books instructions exactly, Finch works his way up from the mailroom to the board room, eventually landing the title of Vice President in charge of advertising.

Drama
The newest play by Stephen Adly Guirgis lays it all out on the table – starting with the title.
This bold play holds nothing back in its story of lifelong love and the addiction that threatens to ruin it. Director Anna D. Shapiro has assembled one heck of an ensemble cast with Bobby Cannavale, Elizabeth Rodriguez, Annabella Sciorra and Yul Vazquez starring. The most exciting addition to the cast is the incredibly versatile Chris Rock who is making his Broadway debut. Scott Rudin is producing – his Denzel Washington led Fences was a smash hit last summer on Broadway.
The Motherf**ker With the Hat tells the story of a couple — Jackie and Veronica who have been in love with each other since the eighth grade. They are one of those couples who could truly spend the rest of their lives together if it weren’t for one major problem – drug and alcohol addiction. Jackie is finally sober with the help of AA and his sponsor Ralph D but Veronica is still battling her own addiction demons. It’s the brutal and sometimes funny dialogue that fuels this production. This is a show that you won’t want to miss!

Drama
Through the use of award winning puppetry, beautiful costumes, and a minimalist stage setting, Nick Stafford’s War Horse Broadway show brilliantly captivates audiences.
Don’t let the word “puppet” turn you off of this production. We’re not talking about just any old puppets. War Horse features two life sized horse puppets – each brought to life by three human puppeteers working in and around the puppet itself. Through their combined movements, the horses come to life. Flanks quiver, hoofs paw the floor, and tails shake – movements so real that you’ll forget that you’re not watching real horses on the stage. The sculptural quality of the horses themselves is evident and beautiful as the puppeteers bring them to life.
War Horse is about a young British man named Albert who doesn’t have much more in life than his horse Joey. When World War One begins to spread across Europe, Joey is sold to an army captain to ride into battle. The show was adapted from a novel by Michael Morpurgo whose use of Joey as the story’s narrator was heavily influential on the creative direction of the play. In the stage version of War Horse, the horses are the protagonists as well. Though Albert and his quest to find his beloved horse by enlisting in the army himself is a central part of the story, the real hero is Joey and his other horse friend, Topthorn.
War Horse has been playing on London stages for three years and makes it New York City debut April 14. Don’t miss your chance to see this incredible production. This is a show that will have you raving to your friends — it’s a can’t miss moment in Broadway theater history.
