The Paramount Theatre in downtown Aurora will host a hilarious world premiere musical, The Secret of My Success, on February 12. The theme of the musical is based on corporate culture, unrestrained ambitions, and making your own way in life. It is also based on the historic hit movie of the 1987 Universal Pictures.

The Paramount Theatre is working with some of the best musical theatre creators. The story is written by Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen. Greenberg is also the director of the musical. Michael Mahler and Alan Schmuckler will provide the music and lyrics services. Mahler and Schmuckler have already given hit musicals in the form of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and How Can You Run with a Shell on Your Back?

The musical will allow the audience to laugh all the way home. The Secret of My Success is a part of the New Works Initiative of Paramount. The musical remained under development for three years.

The Secret of My Success will include a clever story, catchy new songs, and exciting comedy. The previews of the world premiere musical will start on Feb. 12, 2020.
