Music & Lyrics by Dolly Parton and Book by Patricia Resnick
Kick off your heels, crank up the volume, and join the rebellion!
Based on the hit 1980 film and featuring an original score by country music legend Dolly Parton, 9 to 5: The Musical is a high-energy, laugh-out-loud tale of friendship, revenge, and female empowerment in the workplace.
When three vastly different office workers—Violet, Judy, and Doralee—are pushed to the brink by their sexist, egotistical boss, they don’t just get mad… they get even. Through a wild mix-up of fantasy, farce, and bold determination, the trio hatches a plan to take control of the office and transform their toxic work environment into a place of respect and possibility.
With catchy songs, big laughs, and heart to spare, 9 to 5 is a celebration of women rising up, standing tall, and rewriting the rules—all set to a toe-tapping score that’ll have you humming all the way home. This musical comedy is the ultimate feel-good tribute to the power of friendship, fairness, and finding your voice.
