In the spirit of celebrating theater and providing motivation to get up and get shakin', we're taking a look back and paying tribute to some of the greatest dance numbers in musical theater history!
Today's number, 'Brotherhood of Man' from How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying.
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying by Frank Loesser with a book by Abe Burrows, Jack Weinstock, and Willie Gilbert, opened on Broadway in 1961. The show won seven Tony Awards and the 1962 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
