9 to 5 The Musical
NorShor Theatre
Duluth Playhouse’s 9 to 5 The Musical runs July 12 - 28 at the NorShor Theatre. Based on the cult classic movie, this Broadway hit features feel-good songs by the legendary Dolly Parton and a book by Patricia Resnick, the co-writer of the original screenplay.
Set in the Rolodex era, 9 to 5 The Musical follows three female coworkers—Violet, Judy, and Doralee—who are fed up with their sexist and egotistical nightmare of a boss, Franklin Hart Jr. Together, they concoct a plan to kidnap Hart, intending to expose his corruption and give their toxic workplace a dream makeover. Their actions lead to a series of comedic, chaotic, and ultimately empowering events as they take control of the company that had always kept them down. 9 to 5, The Musical is a riotous celebration of the power of female friendship, championing the idea that change is possible when people join forces and take a stand for what's right.
