HOW TO SUCCEED... follows the rise of J. Pierrepont Finch, who uses a handbook as his guide 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 office party, backstabbing coworkers, caffeine addiction and, of course, true love. This is the Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning, irreverent and tuneful satire of big business in 1961, jam-packed with sly, swift, and sharp humor!
