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
Last year my high school did guys and dolls and now they're doing this one
@@grey30122 My school did Guys and Dolls last year and we're doing How to Succeed this year too.
Me, too. So glad to have my suspicion that it was written by Frank Loesser. He uses the word "puerile" in "A Secretary is not a Toy."
I love this!! I saw this show performed at a high school, this was my fav song
I think I might have seen it with Robert Morse. Or at least I wish I had.
WOWOWOW!!! What a set!!!
Love this song...my favorite from How to Succeed
Wow I love this show
Me, too. I especially like "I Believe in You."
SMITTY:
Well, here it is five P.M.
The finish of a long day's work.
And there they are both of them,
The secretary and the clerk.
Not very well acquainted.
Not very much to say
But I can hear those two little minds
Ticking away.
Now, she's thinking:
ROSEMARY:
I wonder if we take the same bus.
SMITTY:
And he's thinking:
FINCH:
That could be quite a thing between us.
SMITTY:
Now, she's thinking:
ROSEMARY:
He really is a dear.
SMITTY:
And he's thinking:
FINCH:
But what of my career.
SMITTY:
And she says:
ROSEMARY:
Ah! hum...
SMITTY:
And he says:
FINCH:
A hum-hum...
Well it's been a long day.
ALL:
Well, it's been a long,
Been a long, been a long,
Been a long day.
SMITTY:
Now, she's thinking:
ROSEMARY:
I wish that he were more of a flirt.
SMITTY:
And he's thinking:
FINCH:
I guess a little flirting won't hurt.
SMITTY:
Now she's thinking:
ROSEMARY:
For dinner we could meet.
SMITTY:
And he's thinking:
FINCH:
We both've gotta eat, ah....
SMITTY:
And she says:
ROSEMARY:
Atchoo...
SMITTY:
And he says:
FINCH:
Gesundheidt!
ROSEMARY:
Thank you!
FINCH:
Well, it's been a long day!
ALL:
Well, it's been a long,
Been a long, been a long,
Been a long day.
SMITTY:
Hey!
There's a yummy Friday's special at Stouffer's.
It's dollar-ninety vegetable plate.
And on the bottom of the add,
Not bad, service for two,
Three-fifty eight,
To make a bargain, make a date.
ROSEMARY:
Wonderful!
FINCH:
It's fate!
SMITTY:
Now she's thinking:
ROSEMARY:
What the female kind of trap could I spring?
SMITTY:
And he's thinking:
FINCH:
I might as well forget the whole thing.
SMITTY:
Now she's thinking:
ROSEMARY:
Suppose I take his arm...
SMITTY:
And he's thinking:
FINCH:
Well, really what's the harm?
SMITTY:
And she says:
ROSEMARY:
Hungry?
SMITTY:
And he says:
FINCH:
Yeah!
ROSEMARY:
Yeah!
SMITTY:
Yeah!
ALL:
Well, it's been a long day!
Well, it's been a long,
Been a long, been a long,
Been a long day.
COMPANY:
Well, it's been a long,
Been a long, been a long,
Been a long day. Last Updat
Thank you.

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.
