How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, the Pulitzer-Prize-and-Tony-Award-winning musical, is a story about the triumph of the common man amid the buffoonery of big business. When a restless, creative, and ambitious window washer named J. Pierrepont Finch happens upon a book entitled 'How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying', he decides to begin his rise up the corporate ladder. With the book’s instructions and a dose of his own cleverness, Finch starts by landing a job in the mailroom at the World Wide Wicket Company. He is soon promoted and outsmarts his scheming, sniveling rival, Frump - who also happens to be the boss's nephew-- before finally reaching the very top of the organization.

Walking under ladders might be bad luck, but climbing the corporate ladder with The Theatre Company of Bryan/College Station is definitely your good fortune! The wildly entertaining musical comedy HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING is the second main stage production of TTC’s 37th season, Because of Randy.

The show opened on Broadway in 1961 and won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical. It won the Pulitzer for Drama (1962) and has had several revivals as well as adaptations for film and TV. HOW TO SUCCEED has charmed theatre-goers for decades with its memorable songs, witty humor, and hilarious look at the world of business. Featuring such favorites as “I Believe in You,” “Brotherhood of Man,” and “Been a Long Day,” this show remains entertaining and relevant today.
