How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying

Musical by Frank Loesser
Book by Abe Burrows, Jack Weinstock, and Willie Gilbert
Directed by Christopher Michael Richardson

Big business means big laughs in this riotous romp through the corporate world that took Broadway by storm, winning both the Tony Award for Best Musical and a Pulitzer Prize. As sharp as it is hilarious, the story follows the meteoric rise of J. Pierrepont Finch, an ambitious window washer who stumbles upon a book titled How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. Armed with this handy guide, Finch sets out to conquer the Worldwide Wicket Company with a mix of wit, charm, and a bit of scheming.

This reinvigorated production of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying is a tune-filled, comic gem full of ambition, love, luck, and a whole lot of nerve!
