Georgian Ensemble Theatre Opens Season With 9 TO 5 THE MUSICAL

Georgia Ensemble Theatre (GET) has announced that it will open their 18-19 season with 9 to 5 the Musical at their home in the Roswell Cultural Arts Center. The show runs September 13 through September 30, 2018.

A heart-warming comedy of friendship and revenge, the musical is based on the hilarious hit 1980 movie starring Dolly Parton, Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda and features Parton's famous musical score. The book is by Patricia Resnick with GET's production directed by Shelly McCook, music directed by S. Renee Clark and choreographed by Jennifer Smiles Plumley.

Pushed to the limit by their terrible boss, Mr. Hart, three women are dismayed by their jobs and discouraged by divorce, disappointment and disrespect. But when they "accidentally" kidnap the boss, they have the chance to take over their office and turn around their lives. Dolly Parton's snappy musical score takes center stage, led by the best-selling title song. A silly, sincere, empowering story of what it's like working 9 to 5.

9 to 5 the Musical features an extraordinary cast of actors. The lead roles of Violet, Doralee and Judy will be played respectively by Jill Hames (Freaky Fridayat Horizon), Alyssa Flowers making her GET debut, and Wendy Melkonian (Becky's New Carat GET, Hand to Godat the Alliance). Brian Kurlander (last seen in Comedy of Tenorsat GET) will take on the role of boss Franklin Hart Jr. The rest of the Atlanta cast is: Gina Rickicki (Morningside at GET), JD Myers (Family Stage Series at GET), Kayce Grogan-Wallace, Josh Brook, Stephanie Zandra, Alex Hubbard, Christopher Holton, Daniel Burns, Dayanari Umanaand Christopher Ciulla.
