70 Local Students Culminate Broadway Success

February 17, 2012-March 3, 2012, The Roxy Performing Arts Center, 1645 SW 107^th Ave. Miami, FL 33165

The Roxy Theatre Group (RTG) and the Greater Miami Youth Symphony (GMYS), two youth arts programs, are ready to Broadway up Miami with the Tony-Award winning musical, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.  Representing over 25 schools and colleges in Miami-Dade County, the cast and orchestra of 70 students, ages 12-22, bring forth an illuminating musical theater explosion to the local arts scene.

Through vibrant songs and exuberant choreography, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying culminates in an energetic story of ambition, love and the hilarious behind-the-scenes antics of the corporate world.  The music and lyrics are by Frank Loesser and book by Abe Burrows, Jack Weinstock, and Willie Gilbert.  GMYS and RTG collaborate to present this musical cornucopia thanks to The Children’s Trust.  GMYS is dedicated to training young musicians, ages 5-18.

“Since RTG provides a performing arts training program, we always know that eventually these students will grow up and move on to do great things, but while they are with us, they always amaze me with their talent and how well they do the work.  How To Succeed promises to live up to the quality of show we have come to expect from our productions, thanks to our students,” said Charles A. Sothers, 35, RTG’s Theatre Arts Director. Sothers plays the role of J.B. Biggley in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and is a Florida International University Alum.
