“9 to 5: The Musical,” with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton and book by Patricia Resnick, is based on the 1980 hit movie “Nine to Five.”

Pushed to the boiling point by their boss, three female co-workers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss.

They conspire to take control of their company and learn there’s nothing they can’t do -- even in a man’s world.

Set in the late 1970s, “9 to 5: The Musical” is a hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era.

Outrageous, thought-provoking, and even a little romantic, “9 to 5: The Musical” is about teaming up and taking care of business.

The show is directed and choreographed by Dale Nakagawa, produced by Patty Torrilhon and musically directed by Dan Kurek and Assistant Music Director Eric D. Fish.

Costuming is by Gail Oliphant, props by Steve Mancarella, sound and projection design by Todd Carrie and light and set design by Peter J. Hill.
