As is the case with many New Yorkers, I have a special place in my heart for the wonderful world of Broadway. That’s why I try and get myself over to a musical/play every few months. There’s something just incredibly invigorating about seeing a story come to life right before your eyes on stage. And I have to say, seeing the legendary Frank Loesser’s How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying was definitely the adrenaline boost I needed to get myself out of this cold weather rut I’ve felt stuck in lately!
I assume that nearly every high school in the world has put on a production of this show, so most theater audiences are well aware of the story and the music. But let’s just say that my high school’s version of the show (though noble) didn’t come close to holding a candle to the real Broadway deal. The acting was phenomenal (it starred Harry Potter Daniel Radcliffe in the lead role as a wannabe business upstart who climbs his way up the proverbial success ladder) and the production is unparalleled by anything else I’ve seen on the “big stage.” The sets were ever-changing and incredibly in-depth, the dancing was expertly choreographed/executed and the punch lines hit with all the force of a freight train.
Like the theater? Then you definitely need to check out this brilliant interpretation of a modern day classic. I promise you won’t be disappointed!
