ESCANABA -- Escanaba High School is bringing back a popular musical that was last shown at the school in the '70s and in 1986.

It's called "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying."  The comedy follows J. Pierrepont Finch, a window washer who enjoys a rise in the business world with the help of a how-to book.

The production required a strong male chorus, and there are about 53 high school students in the cast.  There are around 24 in the orchestra and at least 30 more students working backstage.

"It's stressful," said Jason LaFave.  "It can get hard, but it's not unmanageable.  And I just enjoy doing this.  This is one of my favorite things ever, and I wouldn't ever stop doing this if something got in the way."

The $10 tickets are available at the main office.  The show runs November 18, 19, 21, and 22.
