9 to 5: The Musical

This show opens in Pfeiffer Hall on Thursday, November 10, and runs Thursday at 8:00 pm, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday at 2:00 p.m. PLEASE NOTE: THE THURSDAY NIGHT PERFORMANCE MAY BEGIN LATER THAN THE POSTED TIME. THIS IS A SPECIAL PERFORMANCE FOR PRESIDENT’S CLUB MEMBERS TO WHICH OTHERS ARE INVITED TO PURCHASE TICKETS AS WELL. 9 To 5 The Musical, with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton and book by Patricia Resnick, 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 female co-workers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. In a hilarious 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?

Book by Patricia Resnick. Music and lyrics by Dolly Parton. Directed by Scott Weinstein (guest director) with musical direction by Jermaine Hill (Theatre faculty).
