Wopat and Tveit singing "Butter Out of Cream" from the new musical, Catch Me If You Can.
Aaron Tveit, profiled here in the Seattle Times, is premiering the role of Frank Abagnale, Jr., in the new musical, Catch Me If You Can, which is to open in Seattle tonight for a three-week run. (The originally scheduled first two shows, to have been Thursday and Friday, were canceled due to a family emergency of one of the stars, Tony Award-winner Norbert Leo Butz.) Tveit most recently played the role of Gabe in Broadway’s Next to Normal.
On this rainy, chill, Seattle-like Saturday here in Columbus, find a song from “a first look” at the show below the jump.

Hey, rainy & chill =/= Seattle-like! I have to debunk this every single Easterner I meet… *sigh*
It does appear that I’ve always mistaken Seattle for London-y type weather.
