Paramount Theatre will have its new, world premiere musical, The Secret of My Success, a hilarious, heartfelt new romp about corporate culture, unbridled ambition, mistaken identity, and making your own way in life.
Based on the 1987 Universal Pictures hit movie starring Michael J. Fox, Paramount’s The Secret of My Success is a wildly, funny, new musical with quite a résumé, ready to launch February 12, 2020 to March 29, 2020 at Paramount Theatre, 23 E. Galena Boulevard in downtown Aurora.
The book is by Broadway veterans Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen. Greenberg directs. Music and lyrics are by Michael Mahler and Alan Schmuckler, the same duo behind such hit musicals as Diary of a Wimpy Kid and How Can You Run with a Shell on Your Back?
Adapted from the classic 1980s Michael J. Fox movie, The Secret of My Success is now being retold on the musical stage with big production numbers and a book that will have audiences laughing all the way home. The musical has been under development with Paramount for three years as part of Paramount’s New Works Initiative. Now, with its clever story, comedic staging and an outstanding score featuring catchy new songs, The Secret of My Success is ready to impress.
