With the help of the instructional guide How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, eager and ambitious J. Pierrepont Finch is determined to do just that. On his climb up the corporate ladder, Finch encounters J. B. Biggley, the company president; Rosemary Pilkington, a romantically-inclined secretary; Bud Frump, a wily competitor and the boss’s nephew; and Hedy La Rue, a sexy ex-cigarette girl with ambitions of her own. The intrepid Finch dodges, parries and plans until victory is his. How To Succeed…, which received a Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1961, is a comic masterpiece of satire and song.
