BWW Reviews: Revamped '9 TO 5' Musical Makes It Work

First introduced to locals here in Southern California back in 2008 during its pre-Broadway tryouts at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles, the 1st National Tour of the retooled 9 TO 5: THE MUSICAL has arrived in Orange County for a week of shows ending May 10 at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts. Zippier and more compact than its previous stage incarnations, the show--featuring original songs written by Dolly Parton--takes the original hit 1980 film comedy and repurposes it into a cute, charming musical about the struggles of women in a male-dominated workplace.

BWW Reviews: 9 TO 5 National Tour in Denver

So I have been spoiled here in Denver over the past several months with many excellent productions that included quality writing, standout performances, and great technical execution.
