About the show
Big business means big laughs in this delightfully clever lampoon of life on the corporate ladder. Follow the rise of J. Pierrepont Finch, who uses a little handbook 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.
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 a score by Frank Loesser, including “I Believe in You,” “Brotherhood of Man” and “The Company Way.”
Performances will be February 9, 10, 16, 17, 23 and 24 at 7:30 p.m. and February 11, 18 and 25 at 2 p.m.
