9 to 5
26 - 29 May 2016
9 To 5 The Musical, with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton and book by Patricia Resnick, is based on the seminal 1980 hit movie. Set in the late 1970s this hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era is outrageous, thought-provoking, and even a little romantic.
Pushed to the boiling point, three female co-workers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy - giving their boss the boot! While 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 high-energy show is ideal for a large, mostly female cast, but also has opportunities for talented male dancers. With its jubilant score and easily relatable characters, 9 To 5 is the perfect show for community theaters.
“It is not often I come away from seeing a production be it amateur of professional and struggle to find fault with it in some way or another. But tonight after watching Doncaster Amateur Operatic Societies production of 9 to 5 at CAST in Doncaster I was faced with just that problem. This show is one of the best productions I have seen this year, not only of 9 to 5 but of any production full stop.”
