ABOUT THIS COMMUNITY THEATRE MUSICAL — Pushed to the boiling point, three female coworkers concoct a plan to get even with their sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot-boss Mr. Hart. In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy — giving their supervisor the boot! While Hart remains mysteriously absent and “otherwise engaged,” the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. 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.
