Dolly Parton, the stage show’s composer/lyricist, based the musical on the 1980’s hit film. Like the original movie, 9 to 5: The Musical is a comedic romp that tackles real issues – like women in the workplace and male/female relationships -while it is busy tickling funny bones. Fans of the film will recognize more than a few lines and gags from the original, but the Broadway version stands on its own two feet.
9 to 5: The Musical premiered in Los Angeles in September 2008 and opened on Broadway in April 2009. It received 15 Drama Desk Award nominations as well as 4 Tony Award nominations.
