How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying
From the authors of Guys And Dolls comes one of the most delightful musicals of all time, blending music and lyrics by Frank Loesser; book by Abe Burrows, Jack Weinstock and Willie Gilbert, based on the book by Shepherd Mead. Written in the Mad Men era, the comedy satirizes big business and all it holds sacred. The show follows the rise of J. Pierrepont Finch, who uses a little handbook called "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying" (How To Succeed) 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 boss' whiny, nepotistic nephew, the office party, backstabbing co-workers, caffeine addiction and, of course, true love.
Originally set in the 60s, MSAs production with a lead and ensemble cast of 30 talented youth, is set as a timeless fable. Based upon the best selling book that offered a collection of tongue-in-cheek maxims to help junior executives succeed, it is sure to please. Guaranteed to appeal to anyone who has ever worked in an office or fallen in love, the show boasts stellar, show-stealing roles which are replete with quirky, memorable characters, a catchy, witty score that's bright, and brassy -- and a wicked sense of humor. Critics raved in New York for the original production in 1961 which ran for 1,461 performances, as well as its revival in 1995, with 548 performances. It won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and a Pulitzer Prize For Drama in 1962.
From its rousing overture until the evangelical "Brotherhood of Man," which brings the evening to a foot-stomping end, this "How to Succeed" is very nearly a nonstop delight. How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying is as fast, funny, and glitzy as it ever was. The shows gifts and concerns are timeless. (Vincent Canby, New York Times)
