“How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying,” is based on the Shepard Mead bestseller a rollicking, fun-filled musical satire of 1950’s Madison Avenue.
J. Pierpont Finch is a window washer with big dreams. He is tired of being on the outside looking in.
So, with the help of a popular self help book, Finch tosses away his squeegee and climbs the proverbial corporate ladder from mail room to executive suite.
It is a mad-cap ascent filled with laughter, romance, intrigue, scandal, and show stopping music. Featuring the songs “I Believe in You”, “Brotherhood of Man,” “Rosemary,” “The Company Way,” “Grand Old Ivy,” “Been a Long Day,” and “Coffee Break,” it garnered the Pulitzer Prize for drama.
 How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying opened in New York on Oct. 14, 1961 and took the city by storm.
Robert Morse as Finch led the gray flannel troupe, which included Charles Nelson Reilly, Rudy Vallee, and Bonnie Scott.
