WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Nominated for 8 Tony Awards including Best Revival of a Musical!
Following the advice of a book entitled "How to Succeed in Business" a young window-cleaner, J. Pierrepont Finch (Nick Jonas), begins a meteoric rise from the mail-room to Vice President of Advertising at the World-Wide Wicket Company. Finch's unorthodox and morally-questionable business practices jeopardize not only his career but also his romance with secretary Rosemary Pilkington. With a beloved score by Frank Loesser, How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying is packed with hit standards such as "I Believe in You," "Happy to Keep His Dinner Warm," "The Company Way," "Been a Long Day," "Rosemary," and "Brotherhood of Man."
Rush Tickets
A limited number of $30.00 general rush tickets are available to each performance. They are available at the box office beginning at 10am on the day of the performance only; there is a limit of two tickets per person.
WHAT ARE CRITICS SAYING?
What are other members saying?
"HOW TO SUCCEED" is dated satire
I loved it in 1961 and thought it was ok in 1995, but after 50 years it seems tame and even a little foolish, despite the still fine Frank Loesser score and a lively production. It proves that satire dates quickly and shows like this are very much tied to their time periods. Still, the score is classic, and theshow is fun if you arent to fussy.

Not disappointed
Story was cute, Daniel Radcliffe was great! Good chemistry between him and John Laroquette. I found the storyline slow at times though and caught myself yawning.

Harry Potter -- aka Daniel Radcliffe -- has graduated from Hogwarts with a Master of Arts in singing and dancing, as is evident in Rob Ashford's sleek revival of the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, now at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre.
From the moment he appears dangling on a high-rise window-washer's perch as the ambitious J. Pierrepont Finch, the 21-year-old Radcliffe proves he can carry a major musical on his five-foot-five frame -- even a show such as this one, which shows slight signs of wear after 50 years. Indeed, there's a good possibility that a Tony Award is in his immediate future.
In How to Succeed, the seemingly innocent Finch [...]
