The national tour of How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying may have ended, but a second tour -- this one non-Equity -- will go out in the fall, staring first at West Point, NY, Sept. 27.
The Big League Touring tour of H2S will feature Jason Reiff as J. Pierrepont Finch. Reiff starred in the same company's Tommy tour.
Rosemary will be played Crystal Kachulis. Smitty will be Isabelle Decauwert (who played Mrs. Walker in the Tommy tour). Conniving Bud Frump will be played by Troy Pittman; Jordan Peck plays J.B. Biggley.
Songs in the Frank Loesser musical include "A Secretary Is Not A Toy" and "Brotherhood Of Man."
