How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying
Music & Lyrics by Frank Loesser, Book by Abe Burrows, Jack Weinstock & Willie Gilbert, Based on the novel by Shepherd Mead
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying is a comic gem that took Broadway by storm in 1961, winning both the Tony Award for Best Musical and a Pulitzer Prize. It was revived twice on Broadway in acclaimed productions starring Matthew Broderick and Daniel Radcliffe.
A satire of big business and all it holds sacred, it 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 co-workers, caffeine addiction and, of course, true love. This brand new production is brought to you by the team behind last year’s Anyone Can Whistle and promises to be a bold and inventive new staging for a modern day audience, with all the charm of the original.
Featuring Michelle Visage (‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’) as the voice of ‘The Book’.
