9 to 5: The Musical

With music and lyrics by Dolly Parton and a book by Patricia Resnick, 9 to 5: The Musical is based on the 1980 hit movie.

Set in the late 1970s, the 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 coworkers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot whom they call their boss.

In an uproarious 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?

Presented by the Gateway Center for the Performing Arts, 9 to 5 will show at the Kirkwood Performing Arts Center from April 28 to 30.
