Scam artist to hold Q&A at Orpheum Theatre

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- The scam artist who inspired the movie and Broadway musical "Catch Me If You Can" will be in Minneapolis this week.

Frank Abagnale Jr. will do a question-and-answer session after the show's opening night Tuesday at the downtown Orpheum Theatre.

Abagnale posed as a doctor, lawyer and jet pilot -- all before age 21.

Leonardo DiCaprio played Abagnale in the hit film directed by Steven Spielberg.

The musical's national tour runs Dec. 11-16 at the Orpheum.
