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! Approximate run time: 2 hours and 30 minutes, with one intermission Suggested ages: 13+
