About the musical:
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying is a musical with music and lyrics by Frank Loesser and book by Abe Burrows, Jack Weinstock, and Willie Gilbert, based on Shepherd Mead's 1952 book of the same name. The story concerns young, ambitious J. Pierrepont Finch who, with the help of the book How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, rises from window washer to chairman of the board of the World Wide Wicket Company.
Most recently, the show was revived on Broadway with Daniel Radcliffe (who played "Harry Potter" in the popular movie franchise) in the role of J. Pierrepont Finch. Jonas Brother Joe Jonas took over the role, after Radcliffe's successful Broadway run.
