"How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" by Frank Loesser, Abe Burrows, Jack Weinstock, and Willie Gilbert | S15.E16
Episode 305
Monday, 15 December, 2025
In the final episode of the season, No Script turns its attention to one of Broadway’s sharpest, wittiest, and most unsettling musical comedies: How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. Based on Shepherd Mead’s satirical guidebook, How to Succeed skewers mid-century corporate culture while exposing timeless truths about ambition, power, masculinity, and conformity. Jacob and Jackson unpack how the musical’s bright score and buoyant humor mask a biting critique of the American workplace — and the myth of meritocracy itself. ------------------------------ Please consider supporting us on Patreon.
