    Power, sex, ambition, greed... it's just another day at the office. One of the most delightfully irreverent musicals of all time. A satire of big business and all it holds sacred, How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying follows the rise of J. Pierrepont Finch, who uses a little handbook to climb the corporate ladder from lowly window washer to high-powered executive, tackling such familiar but potent dangers as the aggressively compliant 'company man,' the boss' whiny, nepotistic nephew, the office party, backstabbing co-workers, caffeine addiction and, of course, true love.

        First, I loved finding this musical on Now Playing Utah, what a great resource. Second, what a great show. It was beautifully done. The acting and voices and songs made it an engaging experience that kept me involved and interested. The costumes and staging were well done. I really liked the youthful actors and the double-roles of many of the actors. Well done. I definitely want to come back to Terrace Plaza Playhouse. It is only about a 50 minute drive from Salt Lake.

        Newcomer Samantha Simpson is a real talent as Aida--she'll blow you away! Her voice is amazing--it's strong and beautiful. She is mesmerizing to listen to and she makes you really care what happens. The show is well-directed, well-choreographed and well-acted with great scenery and intense chemistry between Aida and Radames. GO SEE IT and you'll want to see it again. Someday you'll be able to say you saw Simpson's first lead role. It certainly won't be her last. Collapse

        I am always quite a skeptic when it comes to community Theater but I must say great job TPP. Jason Campbell and Megan Hall are a utterly charming. With voices equally delightful. Mickey Pace dominates the stage with her impressive comedic timing and voice that brings down the rafters. The ensemble although small, packs a strong punch. Marc Daniels direction is tight and fast moving. Quite a feat for non professional actors. In this case they might as well be. Totally a must see for Utah theater goers and their families. Congratulations on a great show Lucky Stiff! Collapse

        This is one of the funniest shows I've ever seen. If you're on the borderline, trying to decide whether to go or not, just take the advice of a stranger and go see the show. You won't regret it.

        This show is a must see! It is amazing and hilarious and I couldn't stop laughing! Every person in the cast is incredibly talented- the acting is phenomenal, the singing is superb, and the comedy is smack-on! Everything from the jokes that made me giggle to the physical comedy that made me laugh boisterously! But if there's one thing to go see the show for it's the stiff! Rod Carlson plays the dead guy with such finesse that for a moment you forget he's not really dead! Make plans to go see it today- you won't regret it! Collapse

        What a funny, funny plot. This show is a must see! The cast is fabulous. The timing is quick and very well done. Megan Hall and Jason Campbell are perfect in their parts, and their voices - WOW! Mickie Pace is a delight .. the whole cast does such a superb job. It's fun watching cast members come and go as different characters thruout the entire play, they even tap dance. Mark Daniels did a fantastic job directing this zangy little musical. Want to have a great night out? Don't miss Lucky Stiff now playing at the Terrace Plaza Playhouse, just a short drive to Ogden, Utah. Collapse
