“What’s so funny about capitalism?” In this punchy and pungent satire on American business, everything from gender roles to corporate control to personal ambition turns hilarious. With a how-to book in hand, J. Pierrepont Finch, ambitious window cleaner, maneuvers his way through corporate striving and rat-race skullduggery to the strains of “I Believe in You” and “Brotherhood of Man.” Frank Loesser’s Pulitzer Prize-winning musical comedy, first staged in 1961 and triumphantly revived in 1995, still lets us taste the bitter along with the sweet.
