Casting has been announced for Reprise Theatre Company's production of 'How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying' slated to play May 12 to 23 at the Freud Playhouse at UCLA.

Leading the cast is Josh Grisetti as 'J.Piermont Finch'. John O'Hurley will play Finch's boss, 'J.B. Biggley', and Simon Helberg plays the role of 'Bud Frump', 'Finch's rival. Casting for other major roles, including that of Finch's love interest, Rosemary Pilkington, has yet to be announced. Marcia Milgrom Dodge, who helmed the 2009 Broadway revival of 'Ragtime', will direct and choreograph the production.

'How To Succeed' has a script by Abe Burrows, Jack Weinstock and Willie Gilbert and a score by Loesser. The show won the 1962 Pulitzer Prize for drama. The 1962 original production won six Tony Awards, including a Tony for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical for its star Robert Morse. A 1995 revival starred Megan Mullally as 'Rosemary Pilkington' and Matthew Broderick in the role of 'Finch' for which he won the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actor.
