Love the comments by the audience members oohing and ahhing at the set design, one of the first major incorporation of large-scale screen backdrops in a Broadway production. The norm now, but cutting edge way back when!
Saw this a bunch of times. I took two different people to it as their first show. It is a great example of ALL elements of production functioning at near perfect levels. The audience always had a blast. The cast looked like they did, too. Still love hearing Jafar play a businessman. LOL.
A ticket to this play was one of my 21st birthday gifts, that I bought with my own money along with a ticket to NY in order to attend theater workshops including one with Florence Salant Greenberg. Even though this wasn't my first Broadway show, it was the most memorable one of the ones I watched that summer. Thank you so much for uploading this.
It's great seeing this again. Thank you for posting this. The local high school is performing this show later this month and I was just recalling the men's room scene with the toilet stalls just a few hours ago during supper and bang, here it is along with the rest of the show!
Been looking for this for years! Trying to find the production that was held at the Kennedy center from '95 perhaps early '96. Part of my senior class was in the audience. I want to say this is it but unforsure. It seemed like Mathew kept looking at us lol. We had a blast in Washington and this brings back so many precious memories.
it's really cool that you got the broadway cares thing at the end. when i went to see aladdin 2 years ago, they did the same thing. it's nice to see that even back in 1995 they were doing that.
Daniel, the play is supposed to be in caricature. The comedy comes from the slightly overdone, cartoonish characters and situations. It's not high drama, and it's not dramatic comedy. It's exaggerated fun.
Matthew Broderick is a pale shadow of the original Finch, Robert Morse. Broderick has done a lot of revivals and he was embarrassing in every single one of them.

@Adam Efimoff Tough competition!

+Adam Efimoff Not true. Jonathan Freeman plays Jafar in Aladdin on Broadway. Trust me. He plays Bert Bratt, head of Personnel in How to Succeed.

Thanks so much for sharing. Never had the chance to see this. Shame they didn't record these shows
Cool. Nice to see a bootleg from the 1995 revival. Bummer that some parts are cut out.
Wow this was one of 2 Broadway shows I was fortunate to see around 1995! Stellar cast! The other show I saw was “Grease” starring Jon Secada, lol.
LOVED IT! Great story line and cute ending.

They’ve been doing this forever. It’s a tradition.

+Adam Efimoff because at the time it was written (the time it's set in) it was a perfect satire of the business life
Donna Richards l
Donna Richards icy out aced it,, great singing Chris,,,,
Daniel, you're just slow.
Daniel, you're just too boring. Also, Matthew, you're also boring and your accent is weird
MATTHEW BRODERICK IS SO HOT IN THIS.
There, i said it.

no
Hardly an embarrassment. It’s not supposed to mirror an original performance, what would be the point of a revival then? He won a Tony.
