Classic L-C musical plans to ‘Succeed’

Tickets are on sale for Luxemburg-Casco High School’s production of the Tony Award- and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical comedy “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying,” running from Feb. 17-19.

This classic satire of big business, which premiered in 1961, follows the rise of J. Pierrepont Finch, who uses a how-to book to climb the corporate ladder from lowly window washer to high-powered executive. The score includes well-known songs such as “I Believe in You,” “Brotherhood of Man,” “The Company Way” and “A Secretary is not a Toy.”

The show is directed and conducted by L-C Choir Director Paul Gregg, with Peter Geissler as assistant director and Tanya Klanchar as choreographer.

The cast of 40 students includes Eric Maccoux as J. Pierrepont Finch, Grace Balza as his secretary, Noah Doperalski as his boss, Ethan Nimmer as the boss’s nephew, and Hayley Hilbert as the boss’s secret mistress.

Also in the cast are seniors Adon Ash, Dakota Bader, Barney Baeten, Kate Delcore, Alysha Ihlenfeld, Autumn Koller, Isaiah Norton, Taylor Paye, Kyle VanBeek and Emily Wuest; juniors Jacob Davidson, Aurora Delebreau, Faith Flynn, Katherine Haga, Jon Hollister, Allie Kratz, Maddi Mleziva, Cassie Naze, Baylee Nellis, Autumn Nelsen, Sierra Paul, Noah Salentine, Danae Srnka and Zoe Zimmer; sophomores Julia Delcore, Madlyn Devos, Brynn Holzwarth, Hannah Maedke, Bryce Oysti and Will Smith; and freshmen Brendon Brunette, Sienna Davis, Megan Jodar, Anna Morozov, and Emma Stodola.
