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

Frank Abagnale (A'-bag-nyale) 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.
