The show, which will star Norbert Leo Butz as an FBI agent who tracks down con man Frank Abagnale Jr., will open on Broadway in the spring.
Unless the article has gotten edited since this was brought up, he never says that Butz is Abagnale.
And I do find the In the Heights comment obvious that he doesn't like the show. It's amazing that we're so worried about state of theatre and trying to keep the form going and he is hoping and praying that an original musical with a wonderful score and heart gets booted.

Yes, the article has been edited. The original article specifically said Butz would play Frank Jr. Obviously, he realized his mistake and they fixed it in the online version. The print version still has him playing Frank Jr.

There is nothing more fascinating that watching a show in trouble find it's way. Remember, everyone thought "Forum" was hopeless with hundreds of changes needed...but all they really needed was a new opening number and suddenly everything else was fine. It's a very inexact art.
Very detailed diagnosis of CMIYC from The Broadway Doctor.
