How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying
Event description
Presented by the 2025 Graduating Class of Elder Conservatorium Music Theatre
Power, sex, ambition, greed.... It's just another day at the office in this classic satire of big business.
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying 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 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 an exhilarating score by Frank Loesser, including "I Believe in You," "Brotherhood of Man" and "The Company Way."
