LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill. (WLS) -- "Catch Me if you Can" is coming to life on stage, in the north suburbs.

It's set in the 60s, where charming con man Frank Abagnale Jr. posed as a pilot, lawyer and doctor, and then escaped custody.



The musical is playing for a short time at the Marriott Theatre in Lincolnshire.

They talked about how the show is different from the movie and who might like the musical.
