"Tris is a hilarious big business musical of exec- utive dreams and office romance," says Alex Mus- takas, Artistic Director of Drayton Entertainment. "It's a funny take on the real life balancing act of business and pleasure." Following the advice of a book entitled, How to Succeed in Business, a crafty young window - washer, J. Pierrepont Finch, begins a meteoric rise from the mail -room to vice-president of advertising at the World - Wide Wicket Company. However, Finch's unor- thodox and morally questionable business practices jeopardize not only his career, but also his office romance with a sweet secretary named Rosemary Pilkington. With a score by com- poser Frank Loesser, How to Succeed in Busi- ness Without Really fry- ing is packed with hit standards such as, 1 Believe in You, Happy to Keep His Dinner Warm, The Company Way, Rosemary, and Brother- hood of Man.
