A satire of big business and all it holds sacred, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying follows the rise of J. Pierrepont Finch, who uses a little handbook called "How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" to climb the corporate ladder from lowly window washer to high powered executive, tackling suchfamiliar, but potent, dangers as the aggressively compliant "company man," the office party, backstabbing co-workers, caffeine addiction, and, of course, true love.
Rob Ashford's 50th Anniversary revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying opened on Broadway in March 2011 and starred Daniel Radcliffe of Harry Potter fame. Radcliffe played lead role J. Pierrepont Finch through January 1, 2012 and was succeeded by Glee star Darren Criss for three weeks and then Nick Jonas of The Jonas Brothers.
