Nick Jonas and Michael Urie played their first performances as J. Pierrepont Finch and Bud Frump, respectively, in the Broadway production of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre on January 24. They celebrated afterwards at a party held at Glass House Tavern.

Directed and choreographed by Rob Ashford, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, with a score by Frank Loesser and a book by Abe Burrows, Jack Weinstock, and Willie Gilbert, follows a wily window washer on his riotous rise up the corporate ladder.

Jonas is a member of the popular music group, The Jonas Brothers. His prior Broadway credits include Les Miserables, Annie Get Your Gun and Beauty and the Beast. Urie's previous stage credits include The Temperamentals, Angels in America, and The Cherry Orchard. He is perhaps best known for his role as Marc St. James on television's Ugly Betty.

The current cast also includes Beau Bridges as J.B. Biggley, Rose Hemingway as Rosemary Pilkington, Tammy Blanchard as Hedy La Rue, Rob Bartlett as Twimble/Wally Womper, Mary Faber as Smitty, Ellen Harvey as Miss Jones, Michael Park as Bert Bratt, and Anderson Cooper, making his Broadway debut, as the voice of the narrator.
