9 to 5 - The Musical is a hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era. Based on the hit movie starring Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda, and Lily Tomlin, 9 to 5 tells the story of three unlikely friends who conspire to take control of their company and learn there's nothing they can't do -- even in a man's world. Outrageous, thought-provoking and even a little romantic, 9 to 5 is about teaming up and taking care of business. It's about getting credit and getting even.

9 to 5 burst onto the screen in 1980 with a cast starring Jane Fonda as Judy, Dolly Parton as Doralee, Lily Tomlin as Violet, and Dabney Coleman as Frankline Hart. The movie was a hit with audiences and is still one of the highest grossing comedy films of all times and is on the American Film Institute's top "100 Funniest Movies" list. The movie's theme song, "9 to 5," became one of Parton's biggest hits and held the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks and won two Grammy Awards.

In 2009, 9 to 5 - The Musical made it to Broadway playing at the Marquis Theatre with a star-studded cast including Allison Janney as Violet, Megan Hilty as Doralee, Stephanie J. Block as Judy, and Marc Kudisch as Franklin Hart. The music and lyrics were written by Dolly Parton and Patricia Resnick, who co-authored the movie, wrote the script.
