Music Theater Works Presents HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING

Music Theater Works presents the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING at Cahn Auditorium in Evanston, June 8 through June 16, 2019.

J. Pierrepont Finch climbs the corporate ladder from lowly window washer to high-powered executive...tackling such dangers as the aggressively compliant "company man", the office party, backstabbing coworkers, caffeine addiction, and of course, true love.
With the hit songs, I Believe in You, The Brotherhood of Man, Grand Old Ivy, and Company Way.
