The story behind the fun –
Power, sex, ambition, greed... it's just another day at the office.

From the authors of “Guys And Dolls” comes one of the most delightfully irreverent musicals of all time. A satire of big business and all it holds sacred, the story 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 boss' whiny, nepotistic nephew, the office party, backstabbing co-workers, caffeine addiction and, of course, true love.

“Not a sincere line is spoken in the new Abe Burrows-Frank Loesser musical, and what a relief that is.” –
Walter Kerr, Herald Tribune

“This splendidly sardonic account of Big Business is an example of perfect musical comedy construction, swift, sharp, jam-packed with characters and incident and clear-headed as it moves unerringly through an interesting and funny story.”
John Chapman, Daily News

“The most inventive and stylized and altogether infectious new musical in recent recollection.”
Howard Taubman, The New York Times
