Reply for your chance to win a pair of tickets to How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying

I'm teaming back up with Art Meets Commerce for the spring Broadway season. Our first contest kicks off today! All you have to do is answer a trivia question and you are automatically entered to win a pair of tickets to Broadway's newest hit: How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying, starring Daniel Radcliffe & John Larroquette! The winner will be chosen Tuesday April 5th. Please reply in the comments section of this post with your email address so you can be reached if you are chosen as the winner.

Here is the question:

Director/Choreographer Rob Ashford started out as an actor on Broadway. In Which show did he make is Broadway debut?


How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying follows J. Pierrepont Finch and his rise from mail room assistant to Vice President of Advertising at the World-Wide Wicket Company. His ethics are questionable which not only puts his career on the line, but also his relationship with Rosemary Pilkington. This revival of the Frank Loesser classic is currently playing at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre at 302 W 45th Street.
