Some 70 student actors and musicians take on a Broadway musical classic beginning Friday when the Roxy Theatre Group and Greater Miami Youth Symphony open their production of Frank Loesser’s How To Succeed…

 Actor, Danny Pino, Miami native and star of NBC’s Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, plays the Book Voice in The Roxy Theatre Group’s (RTG) musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, through an extraordinary voice over. RTG’s cast and orchestra of 70 students, ages 12-22, are honored to have the accomplished actor as a guest-artist within their ensemble.  RTG is a non-profit arts organization for children and youth.

Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Pino is a long-time supporter of RTG and has served on the program’s Advisory Board since inception. The Cuban-American actor has provided several workshops for the organization’s students. A Florida International University Alumnus, Pino’s television and film credits include Burn Notice, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, New York, Flicka and Andy Garcia’s The Lost City.

“Roxy is a place where an interest in theater, dance and music becomes a study and a study becomes a skill.  At a time when arts programs are being de-funded, Roxy is more rare and essential to the creative youth in our community. I had a fantastic time recording the voiceover for How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, especially knowing I could collaborate with the talented and committed young artists in my hometown.  I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this production and hope that our community further realizes the importance of cultivating creativity and encouraging self expression in all forms. To the students at Roxy:  Dream big, prepare, and ‘Break a leg!,’ said Danny Pino, playing the Book Voice in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.  Currently, playing Detective Nick Amaro on NBC’s hit series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, he is also well-known for his seven seasons as Detective Scotty Valens on CBS’s Cold Case.

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.
