Based on the 1980 film of the same name, 9 to 5 The Musical is the story of three working women, eager to bust through the glass ceiling, who team up against their "sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot" of a boss and take care of business. Set in the late 1970s, this romp through the Rolodex Era is a hilarious and empowering story of friendship, love, and women’s roles in workplace, relationships, and society.
Directed and choreographed by Lucas Beaver with musical direction by Rony Dal Cin, 9 to 5 The Musical features Darla Pirillo as Violet, Kara Colynuck as Doralee, Olivia O'Shea as Judy, John Dedes as Franklin Hart, and Donna Hilsinger as Roz Keith. The stellar cast brings this high-energy show to life.
