From the authors of “Guys And Dolls” comes 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 called “How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying” 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.

PHAMALy succeeds in this classic musical

July 31, 2011

by Deb Flomberg

If you’ve never seen a PHAMALy show, then you are missing out. PHAMALy (Physically Handicapped Actors and Musical Artists League) is a unique theatre going experience – one that will cause you to rethink your own views on disabilities and how we, as society, view their perceived limitations. The wonderful thing about PHAMALy is that they present high-quality shows that don’t hide an actors disability, instead it simply is part of what makes up that specific character. The result of this blending of so many different disabilities is a unique and often welcome change to many of the traditional musicals that we all know and love. Their current production, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, is another production that showcases this exceptional company and their high quality entertainment.

How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying Denver Post review

July 22, 2011

by John Moore

“”How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying ” is brimming with the signature elements that for two decades have drawn both worldwide attention and curiosity to the all-handicapped theater company called PHAMALy: Strong performances, savvy production values, a wicked sense of humor and a disarming air of self-deprecation. This troupe is a veritable “How to …” handbook in itself: How to … provide performance opportunities for the disabled. How to … shatter stereotypes. How to … let the hot air out of society’s collective (wheelchair) tire. PHAMALy’s annual summer musical at the Denver Center invariably leaves many first-time audiences in a state of awe, forced perhaps to re- evaluate preconceptions about the presumed limitations of the handicapped.”
