From multiple Grammy Award®-winning songwriter dolly parton, the Tony Award®-winning director of Wicked and the Tony-winning choreographer of In The Heights comes 9 to 5: The Musical, a hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era. This all-new musical comedy based on the hit movie features the blockbuster title song plus an exciting new score of 18 original numbers by Dolly Parton that mix Broadway and pop with her signature witty lyrics.
Set in 1979 - when Wall Street was hot and 8-tracks were cool - 9 to 5: The Musical is about three unlikely friends who conspire to take control of their company and learn there's nothing they can't do - even in a man's world! Multiple Emmy Award® winner and Tony nominee Allison Janney (Juno, "The West Wing") stars as Violet, the wise-cracking ringleader who joins co-workers Judy and Doralee (Stephanie J. Block and Megan Hilty of Wicked) to turn the tables on their obnoxious boss, Franklin Hart Jr. (Tony nominee Marc Kudisch).
Outrageous, thought-provoking and even a little romantic, 9 to 5: The Musical is about teaming up and getting credit... it's about kicking butt and taking care of business... and it's about to open on Broadway!
Excellent acting and great theme. A must fopr all women who work in the corporate world.
9 to 5 was very entertaining. Music was excellent. Definately something I would reccomend . An enjoyable and fun show.
very well done. a lot of fun and laughs. performers were outstanding. music was terrific . this isa show that should be on everyones list to see this summer or fall
Allison Janney, Stephanie Block, and Megan Hilty are all so talented! They make the show extremely enjoyable! The casting director has done an outstanding job! Since I lived through the times when discrimination in the workplace was more prevalent than it may be today, I could easily relate to the show. A younger person may have more difficulty.
Totally enjoyable! The 3 leading ladies as well as the entire cast are amazingly talented! We laughed and sang our way through the evening. *** Highly Recommend !***
This show was funny and the songs were catchy. It kept me entertained from start to finish. The choreography was great. The lead dancers were mesmerizing. The leads were incredible! I would recommend this show to anyone.

better than i had expected - phenomenal talent! lively, colorful - terrific technical sets! fun music.
"9 to 5 the musical" is a wonderful adapting of the movie with the addition of some sweet and entertaining music by Ms Parton. The text is engaging and moves the story which is rare today as many musicals just write a book that moves to the next song and give the actors no challenge. Each star turn brings the characters to the audience with visual connection, but also a fine ability to evoke the ethos of their secondary stories. The dream sequence was remarkable (I would sell my soul to have hydraulics on my stage!) and totally "wows" the audience. There were a few tourists in the crowd who believed Dolly was on the stage...bless their hearts. "9 to 5 the musical" is fast paced, musically engaging and entertaining and everything I want in a Broadway musical. Go and enjoy!
I thougth this show was great fun and would easily give it 4 stars
The show was exactly like the movie, except with singing and dancing. It's not a have-to, but it was enjoyable in the same way that Legally Blonde was enjoyable.
Very enjoyable, great music,funny, and witty. I had a smile on my face the whole time I was not laughing. Dolly Parton's music was fantastic!!!! I highly recommend this musical- if you want to get a feel good feeling!!!
This show is uplifting in the stlye of Mamma Mia, funny, characters were well casted, singing voices of Stephani Block and Megan Hilty were wonderful to listen to. All in all a fun afternoon
Overall a very enjoyable show. Very funny. The songs (other than the title) are forgettable, but the three leading women are great. Clearly not a show for someone looking for something "meaningful," but highly recommended if you are looking for an enjoyable evening.
This musical has you laughing from the minute the curtain goes up til the final curtain call. The cast was incredible,to say the least. I will remember this evening for a very long time. If you are looking for something to take you away from it all for a few hours this is the musical for you...Bring tissues for the tears of laughter.
This show is enjoyable mainly because of some terrific performances - especially the absolutely delightful Allison Janney! The sets are also terrific. The story is terminally silly, but that didn't seem to be bothering most of the audience. The weakest element, in my opinion, was the music. I love vintage Dolly Parton, but this didn't sound like her music at all. It was an uncomfortable theater/country/rock hybrid that was characterized mainly by being loud.
This was such a fun show. The leads were amazing. You could close your eyes and think you were listening to Dolly Parton. highly recommended
The show was very entertaining & I enjoyed the show!
