Big business means big laughs in this delightfully clever lampoon of life
on the corporate ladder. A tune-filled comic gem that took Broadway by storm,
winning both the Tony Award for Best Musical and a Pulitzer Prize, How to Succeed in Business without
Really Trying boasts an exhilarating score by Frank Loesser,
including "I Believe in You," "Brotherhood of Man" and
"The Company Way."
A satire of big business and all it holds sacred, How to Succeed in Business without
Really Trying follows the rise of J. Pierrepont Finch, who
uses a little handbook called How to Succeed
in Business without Really Trying to climb the corporate ladder from lowly
window washer to high-powered executive, tackling such familiar but potent
dangers as the aggressively compliant "company man," the office
party, backstabbing coworkers, caffeine addiction and, of course, true love.
An irreverent and tuneful romp, jam-packed with sly, swift and sharp jabs to
the funny bone, How to Succeed
in Business without Really Trying is a surefire hit!
