How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying

Burgdorff Center

Maplewood, NJ 07040

This spirited musical ran on Broadway for 3 1/2 years, won a Tony Award, had a popular revival in 1995, and is being produced to great acclaim this summer by the Colorado Light Opera Company!

Remember the young window washer with large ambitions who runs the gamut of Biggley, Bratt, Frump and Womper? Recall how he dodges the amorous secretary Hedy and finally falls in love with Rosemary? Remember the time when all the business executives were men and their administrative assistants were women? Some things don't change but get better with time, and such is the case with this remarkable musical.

Bring your own music; be prepared to dance; combo with sides provided.

Rehearsals will be MTW.
