PRODUCTION
Director: JANICE MURPHY ROMAN
Music Director: DAVID ALSTEAD
Revived on Broadway in 2011, the common man triumphs in this feel-good musical as our hero, window washer J. Pierrepont Finch, rises up the corporate ladder by following a “how-to” book. Forced to rely on his own wits, he performs so admirably that he is promoted to Chairman of the Board. This Frank Loesser musical won seven Tony Awards and the 1962 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Book by Abe Burrows and Jack Weinstock and Willie Gilbert
Music & Lyrics by Frank Loesser
Based on the novel by Shepherd Mead
