| It was a small but memorable moment. I attended a performance of Catch Me If You Can late in the run. There is a moment in the last song when Frank sings something like "there's lots of folks I'll miss along the way" and as he does his father (the ghost of his father) enters and give him a smile and salute. I saw the show another time early in the run so knew what this moment was supposed to be. It was really touching, I actually got choked up. Well the second time, as that line was approaching, Aaron Tveit accidentaly smacked Norbert in the face incredibly hard. They totally broke character and spent the rest of the song ad-libbing about the mishap. When Tom Wopat came out for his poignant moment, they both just laughed at him with red faces and he shrugged his shoulders as if to say "I have no idea what is happening here". It was a lot of fun to watch. |
