9 to 5: The Musical
Get even
The WPPAC Mainstage is professionally, “self-produced” productions featuring union and non-union actors from Broadway, National Tours and Regional Theatres across the country. Created from scratch and staffed with professional directors and designers, these productions feature large LIVE orchestras and boast high-quality sets and costumes.
About the show
With music and lyrics by Dolly Parton and a book by Patricia Resnick, 9 to 5 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 coworkers, Violet, Judy and Doralee, concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical boss they answer to. A grand and hilarious turn of events follows.
