How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying is based on the best-selling 1952 book of the same name. This satirical look at big business follows the rise of one “J. Pierrepont Finch” (Tyler Ravelson) who uses a little How to… handbook to climb the corporate ladder from lowly window was her to high-powered executive. Finch, with song and dance numbers from Loesser’s prize winning score, navigates the dangers of the aggressively compliant “company man,” the office party, backstabbing co-workers, caffeine addiction and, of course, true love.
