Meet Ponty. He’s a Regular Guy desperate to climb up the greasy ladder to business success in 1960s New York; to discover the secrets of glory in that hard-headed world; to ruthlessly clamber over his friends to get to the top… and feed his insatiable caffeine addiction.
Ponty wants to transform himself from a lowly skyscraper window cleaner into a high-flying business exec and defeat the conniving colleagues, the corporate crooks and the chaotic tycoons, as well as win the heart of the secretary he loves.
Will this ultimate underdog find out how to succeed in business without really trying? Will he be thwarted by his all-singing all-dancing nemesis, Bud Frump? Will the crowd of musical secretaries give him the right advice? And what about the talking self-help book? Will Mr Biggley finish knitting his scarf?
All these questions and more will be answered at How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, our joyful Christmas musical performed by a cast of festive, enterprising and successful Year 12 business legends.
This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International. All authorised performance materials are also supplied by MTI.
