My pal Dave Lavender files an excellent story in today's Herald-Dispatch about the musical comedy How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (which takes the stage this weekend in Huntington.
You can read it right here (and see some great photos by Mark Webb, including the one above) - or check out this excerpt:
In an era filled with get-rich, four-hour-work-week kind of schemes around every corner, it's no wonder this 1961 musical is so ripe for revival.
The rollicking 1961 comedy musical, "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," which has been revived twice on Broadway, gets brushed with new life from the company of ARTS this weekend and next.
Arts Resources for the Tri-State presents the Tony Award-winning musical at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, May 24-25 as well as 2 p.m. Sunday, May 26.
The show will also run at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, May 31 and June 1 and at 2 p.m. Sunday, June 2, at the Renaissance Theatre, 900 8th St., Huntington.
Tickets are $15 or $30 for dinner and a show. Call 304-733-ARTS (2787).
The musical won seven Tonys after it first opened on Broadway in 1961, as well as the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1962, has since been revived a couple times with such famed actors as Matthew Broderick working the show in the 1990s and Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe and John Larroquette starring in a 50th anniversary Broadway revival in 2011.
