Richmond Operatic Society is set to present 9 to 5 The Musical at The Georgian Theatre Royal from Wednesday 13 to Saturday 16 November. With music and lyrics by country music legend Dolly Parton, the production is based on the seminal 1980 hit movie of the same name.
Set against the backdrop of the late 1970s, 9 to 5 The Musical tells a story of friendship, empowerment, and revenge in the era of typewriters and Rolodexes. The show follows three female co-workers—Violet, Judy, and Doralee—who reach their breaking point with their “sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot” of a boss. Pushed to their limits, the trio concoct a plan to get even with their manager, ultimately setting out to live their wildest fantasy of turning the tables on him.
Billed as “outrageous, thought-provoking, and even a little romantic,” 9 to 5 The Musical promises an evening of humour, heart, and anthemic tunes that celebrate resilience and the power of friendship.
Tickets for 9 to 5 The Musical are available from £13 to £19. Call 01748 825252, email foh@georgiantheatreroyal.co.uk, or visit www.georgiantheatreroyal.co.uk.
