Open Auditions: "9 TO 5, THE MUSICAL"

Three unlikely friends take control of their office and learn there is
nothing they can’t do, even in a man’s world. *9 to 5 The Musical*, with
music and lyrics by Dolly Parton and book by Patricia Resnick, is based on
the seminal 1980 hit movie. Set in the late 1970s. This hilarious story of
friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era is outrageous, thought-provoking
and even a little romantic.

SYNOPSIS

Pushed to the boiling point, Violet, Judy, and Doralee form a strong female
triumvirate through their  mutual dissatisfaction with workplace conditions
and especially obnoxious office boss Franklin Hart, Jr. They 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 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?
