How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying
Synopsis
From the authors of “Guys and Dolls” comes one of the most delightfully irreverent musicals of all time. A satire of big business and all it holds sacred, this Pulitzer Prize winning play 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 boss’ whiny, nepotistic nephew, the office party, backstabbing co-workers, caffeine addiction and, of course, true love.
“How to Succeed…stings mischievously and laughs uproariously…It belongs to the blue chips among the best American musicals.
-The New York Times
"Crafty, conniving, sneaky, cynical, irreverent, impertinent, sly, malicious, and lovely, just lovely"
