Is any one familiar with Olney's current production of How to Succeed? I haven't seen any of their productions, so I'm not sure what kind of reputation they have. A friend of mine was inquiring about the above.

I actually just saw it last week. I have never seen the musical before, so I don't know if you really want to trust my opinion… but I loved it. I saw it because I love Sherri L. Edelen (she just finished Gypsy at the Signature). Sam Ludwigs (Pierrpont Finch) facial expressions were pretty much worth the entire show. Everyone was fantastic and I wasn't bored once. The woman who plays Smitty was hilarious as well. I live about two hours away from the theatre and it was definitely worth the three hours of sleep I got that night! There is also a cute little restaurant right across the street (Irish pub sort, but lots and lots of older people were dining there) and they had terrific food.
