Glenwood High School will present Abe Burrows, Jack
Weinstock and Willie Gilbert's musical How
To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying" from March 7 to 12.
“This musical comedy is a exhilaratingly humorous look at
the heady world of corporate life and love in the 1960s,” said Ian Schoeman,
Executive Director and Director of Culture at the school.
Based on Shepherd Mead's book of the same name, the
performance features music and lyrics by Frank Loesser, choreography by Donna
da Costa and musical/vocal direction by Desireé Govender.
The musical highlights the combustible mix of art and
business as it follows the comical story of J Pierrepont Finch, a young window
cleaner with a mind for advancement, on his rapid journey to the top of the
corporate ladder. With its roaring cynicism, the musical is an absurd musical
comedy that critiques the business world by making light of its idiosyncrasies.
How To Succeed In
Business Without Really Trying is the third instalment of a fresh new
cultural programme offered at Glenwood. Following the roaring success of 2015’s
All Shook Up, with a larger-than-ever

Performer’s Project members as well as two LAMDA exam graduates.
