9 TO 5: THE MUSICAL Begins At Roxy Regional Theatre Next Week

“Rediscover Your Voice” with 9 to 5: The Musical, opening at the Roxy Regional Theatre on Thursday, June 13, at 7:00pm.

Featuring the music of Dolly Parton and based on the hit 1980 comedy film, 9 to 5: The Musical is set in the late 1970s, when three female coworkers are pushed to the boiling point and concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss.  In a hilarious turn of events, Violet (Victoria Wolfe), Judy (Rachel Lind) and Doralee (Dana Cullinane) live out their wildest fantasy -- giving their boss the boot!  While their boss Franklin Hart (Travis Ulrich) remains "otherwise engaged," the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down.

Directed by Leigh Martha Klinger, with music direction by Austin Shaw and choreography by Nikki Ahlf Holladay, 9 to 5: The Musical also features Ashley Birnbaum, Peyton Ellis, Sebastian Fenton, David Graham, Jeff Hines-Mohrman, Jared Ivey, Beth Kirby, Faith Konty, Michael Richards, Nicolas Sperandeo, Alex Vanburen, Caleb Crosby and Cooper Maurer.
