On October 14, 1961, the musical "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" opened on Broadway; it starred Robert Morse as J. Pierrepont Finch. Personally I think this is an absolutely marvelous event because I'm just a fan of musical theatre in general and, although this isn't one of my all-time favorite musicals, I still like it quite a lot (in fact, after finding out that it opened today fifty-one years ago, I was inspired to start listening to the music from it some more).
This certainly had an impact on the musical theatre world, but outside of that, there wasn't a lot of impact because of the unfortunate lack of enthusiasm regarding musicals around the world, particularly in comparison to the enthusiasm of sports.
Again, I'm definitely glad that this occurred, though it doesn't necessarily have a huge impact on my life or my existence.
