9 to 5 at Maine State Music Theatre

Inspired by the hit film, 9 to 5 The Musical features a sparkling score by Dolly Parton and is the quintessential feel-good show for the times. Set in the late 1970s – at a time when women were just starting to find their way in the work force – this hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era is outrageous, thought-provoking, and even a little romantic.

Pushed to the boiling point, three female co-workers concoct a plan to get even with the “sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot” they call their boss. In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy, and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy – giving their boss, Mr. Hart, the boot! While  Hart remains “otherwise engaged,” the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. Hey, a girl can scheme, can’t she?
