Spring musical production aims for success
The curtain goes up this week on the musical-comedy “How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying,” with shows at 7 p.m. on Thursday through Saturday.
Directed by Amber Fox, with musical direction by Keith Cox, the play is a clever story about working in a large corporation. From the mailroom through the secretaries and the “Big Boss,” a young window washer works his way up the corporate ladder with the instructions from a ludicrous book.
Brendan Madden, Kelsie Hartl, Kevin Budd, Grade Eidmann, Joe Barlow and Hannah Hagert fill the lead roles in just the second musical produced at ACHS in many years. The cast, crew and orchestra account for 45 students, which Fox said is one of the things she likes about the show. The others are the number of big dance numbers and the “humorous, quirky characters.”
Senior citizens get a sneak peek at the production Wednesday night as part of student council's Sharing Is Caring program, where dinner and door prizes precede the show.
Tickets are $3 and can be purchased at the door.
