Frank Abagnale Jr. (Jeremy Seiner) prefaces the story of his life and the results are a fantastic evening for the audience at the Wagon Wheel Theatre in Warsaw.

As a 16-year-old school boy, his parents are in financial trouble. He is forced to leave private school and attend public school. But when he finds they need a substitute French teacher he becomes the substitute teacher until the principal discovers what is going on.

When his parents, Frank Sr. and Paula (Scott Fuss and Kira Lace Hawkins) separate, he takes off and ends up finding a way to become a gifted forger and confidence man and become rich, amassing some $2.5 million using bogus checks.

Both parents return to the stage from time to time as his sexy French mom goes from boyfriend to boyfriend and eventually remarries. His father spends most of his time in a tavern and by the time Frank reaches 21, he has passed on.

With FBI agent Carl Hanratty (Javier Ferreira) and his crew of fellow agents — Kyle Timson, Dan Smith and Rico Lebron — closing in, he leaves the area and decides to become a copilot for Pan Am Airlines.

Frank enjoys the pursuit and calls the FBI agent from time to time just to taunt him.

When the FBI closes in again, he leaves for Atlanta, Ga., where he becomes a doctor and is put in charge of a hospital emergency room.

Then his problems multiply as he falls in love with nurse Brenda Strong (Carolyn Ann Miller). The couple goes to Louisiana, where her parents are and he becomes an attorney. Again, the FBI closes in as Hanratty is determined to put Frank behind bars and the musical comes full circle.

Brenda’s parents, Carol and Roger Strong (Kristin Yasenchak and Mike Yocum) are the inquisitive type and very protective of their young daughter.

Seiner is a proficient actor and it shows as he weaves his way through all of Frank Jr.’s characters. Likewise, Ferreira is great as the FBI agent who can’t seem to catch Frank Jr., who continually alludes him.

Fuss and Hawkins and Yasenchak and Yocum are the perfect parents as they provide looks at two different types of parents during the 1960s. Fuss and Hawkins seem more interested in their own troubles than they do their son. Yasenchak and Yocum are overprotective.

Hawkins is super as a young woman in love. Rachel Eskenazi-Gold turns in a special performance as Cheryl Ann and members of the ensemble are great … they are there wherever Frank Jr. is as students, airline employees, hospital employees and others. Such production numbers as “Life in Living Color,” “Jet Set,” Doctor’s Orders” and “Fly, Fly Away,” keep them in quick costume changes and delightful dance numbers.

The production provides an interesting evening as the audience finds itself pulling both for the quick-witted Frank and the bumbling FBI agents. It runs through June 28. Call today for tickets.
