Broadway’s delightful — but wickedly accurate — satire of big business was brought to movie screens almost intact, with the story, the stars, the styles and dances kept as they were in the long-running show that won a Pulitzer Prize. This is the place to see Robert Morse and Michele Lee at their best — it’s one of the best, and least appreciated movie musicals of the 1960s.

A hilarious and uplifting Broadway classic has returned to the Al Hirschfeld Theater, with a cast that's almost too good to be true and a timeless message that is surprisingly relevant in 2011. As a Pulitzer prize winner which has been revived twice in 15 years, "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" is something of an American theater war horse. The music is sometimes romantic, sometimes comedic, and always fun. The book is fast-paced, clever, and witty. And the performances are just as charming, spirited, and silly as they ought to be for a sixties-era socially satirical musical comedy—and then some. A crowd-pleaser with something for everyone, this production of How to Succeed may be the best bet on Broadway right now for all those out-of-town friends and relatives. Moreover, it is definitely a must-see if you're a fan of any of the lead actors—and with the extraordinary celebrity heft of this cast,...

While there’s no question that he has been typecast as the famous wizard hero, he has shown that he can branch out and do other roles. In 2008 he starred in the Broadway revival of “Equus,” revealing more than just his acting skills, if you know what I mean.
Now AP reports that he will now appear as the lead character in the Broadway revival of “How to Succeed in a Business Without Really Trying.” The production follows a young man who goes from the mail room to the top of the company featuring the book by Abe Burrows, Jack Weinstock, and Willie Gilbert.
