The Valencia College Opera-Theatre Workshop (Orlando, FL), now in its 18th year, presents this wonderful comedy, giving us a peak into the "sometimes" cut-throat corporate world. A place and time (the 1960s) where men were obsessed with getting to the top, and used all kinds of methods to get there. In this case, J. Pierpont Finch manages to use his cunning, and every present charm, to work his way up the corporate ladder.
Our production features an incredible cast of talented performers:

**A little bit of H2$ history:
"How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying", written by Frank Loesser, holds the distinct honor of being one of eight musicals in the past century to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
The musical, starring Robert Morse and Rudy Vallée, opened at the 46th Street Theatre on Broadway in October 1961, running for 1,417 performances. The show won seven Tony Awards, the New York Drama Critics' Circle award, and the 1962 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and became a movie in 1967.
A 1995 revival was mounted at the same theatre as the original production (now named the Richard Rodgers Theatre). It ran for 548 performances and starred Matthew Broderick and Megan Mullally.
A 50th-anniversary Broadway revival starring Daniel Radcliffe and John Larroquette opened on March 27, 2011, at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre and ran for 473 performances. The revival would earn eight Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical. Daniel Radcliffe, Nick Jonas and Darren Criss all took a turn as the lead, J. Pierpont Finch.
