About the show:
From the corporate offices and the typing pools of the 1960s - think Mad Men - to the modern cubicle wars of today, this hysterical satire of Big Business is comedy at its finest. Join the “Brotherhood of Man” attending How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and do it the “Company Way!” This Pulitzer Prize-winning musical by Frank Loesser is office intrigue at its funniest, complete with some slinky choreography!
The title says it all. J. Pierrepont Finch is a man on a mission - to achieve stunning success at the World Wide Wicket Company while doing as little as possible to deserve it. This musical satire of corporate ladder-climbing and office hanky-panky opened on Broadway in 1961, ran for a remarkable 1,417 performances and earned seven Tony Awards®, the Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Musical, and the 1962 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
Audiences will love this swingin’ tune-filled musical set in the era of TV’s Mad Men, boasting an exhilarating score including “I Believe in You,” “Brotherhood of Man,” and “The Company Way.” This Northwest production will be directed by 5th Avenue Producing Artistic Director Bill Berry.
Power, sex, ambition, greed... it’s just another day at the office in this classic satire of big business.

One thing I love about this scene in this production is the lady in the middle. She really plays up the matchmaker persona for Rosemary and does it really really well. I also like how, although looking really suave, he doesn’t ooose the characters awkward touches throughout.

I am not surprised that How to succeed in business without really trying was written by the same writer of Guys and Dolls. I can hear lots of similarity in the music

Nice performers, but the tempo could be a little faster maybe? And no need to change "thinking" to "thinkin'." Unless that's what the lyricist originally wrote.
