‘Mad Men’ Meets Madcap Musical in the ’60s Satire ‘How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying’


J. Pierrepont Finch trades in his coveralls for a three-piece suit as he climbs the corporate ladder, all with the assistance of his trusty self-help manual. However, with a bunch of executives throwing their weight around in the company’s upper echelons, it takes every ounce of his wits to avoid disaster at every turn. If all you’ve ever wanted in life is a musical episode of Mad Men with a few farcical plot twists, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying is the answer to your wish – so don your best vintage attire and trot down to the Woodlawn to give it a whirl.
