9 To 5: The Musical

9 To 5: The Musical at Walnut Street Theatre

Why see 9 To 5: The Musical?

Inspired by the blockbuster 1980 fabulous revenge caper, 9 To 5 the Musical is a vibrant and energetic production imbued with the ever warm charm and spirit of Dolly Parton, and the shoulder pads of the 70's to the stage in a feisty fashion.

With a score that includes the tremendous Academy Award nominated theme song, Backwoods Barbie and many others that have yielded Dolly Parton Tony and Grammy Award nominations, there is country-magic and Broadway style heart a-plenty that will have fans dancing in their seats.

This is the story of three women, glamorous Doralee, newbie Judy and frustrated Violet, who work together in a man's world ruled by the insidious Franklin Hart Jr. Fed up of being overlooked and bullied and hit on by this sexist, chauvinistic, egotistical night- mare of a boss, these three very different characters get together to hatch an empowering plan to get revenge, with fiendishly hilarious consequences, and form a strong bond, despite their differences.

A kitsch, brazen evening of unabashed novelty, this is the perfect show for a big girl's night out and for anyone who's ever sworn sometimes 'that man is out to get me!'
