The cast also includes Jessica Davis as Paula Abignale, Taylor Koenigsberg as Brenda Strong, with Alex Koenigsberg, Ethan Wesner and Bradyn Yahner as FBI agents.

In the director’s chair is CLP’s Paul Seymour, who describes the musical as “a wild romp while the main character tries to find his place in the world.” Choreography is under the direction of Sierra Gdula.
