9 to 5 The Musical, based on the 1980 hit movie, is a laugh-out-loud story of friendship and revenge with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton.
Pushed to the boiling point, three female coworkers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call a boss. In a zany turn of events, Violet, Judy, and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy – giving their boss the boot! While Mr. Hart remains “otherwise engaged,” the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. Hey, a girl can scheme, can’t she?

This production is recommended for audiences ages 13 and up for adult themes and mild language.
