Winner of the 1962 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying is a musical satire of 1960's big business and all it holds sacred. This blockbuster musical follows the meteoric rise of J.

From the authors of Guys and Dolls, this delightfully irreverent musical features a score packed with hit standards "I Believe in You," "Happy to Keep His Dinner Warm," "The Company Way," "Been a Long Day," "Rosemary" and "Brotherhood of Man."
