Not Easy To Succeed

There may be a Broadway revival of one of my favorite musicals, How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

But three things:

1) There was a revival in the 90s starring Matthew Broderick. Shouldn't they wait at least another decade?

2) As much as I love the show, the sexual politics are dated. That means either playing it as originally written and putting off some of the audience, or rewriting it and reimagining it, which will almost certainly weaken it.

3) Putative star Daniel Radcliffe just doesn't seem right for the part. Maybe because I think of the earnest Harry Potter when I see him, while the part of J. Pierpont Finch requires, in essence, a con man.
