Set in the 1970s, 9 to 5 is a hilarious, romantic, and thought-provoking show exploring themes such as friendship, workplace harassment, equal opportunity, and personal growth. With music and lyrics by Dolly Parton and book by Patricia Resnick, this jubilant musical will leave you singing and dancing out of the theater.
