Review: 9 TO 5 at Candlelight Music Theatre
We all love Dolly. She wrote all the songs for 9 to 5. On Broadway, the musical had a short life, as did attempts on London’s West End. UK tours and those in Australia met a quick demise. Plan B: license to regional theatres. The show’s producers added a vid with Dolly herself at opening curtain singing the title number. It’s a buoyant anthem about the struggles of working a 9 to 5 job female empowerment and control of one’s future.
