BWW Reviews: 9 to 5: The Musical at the Fox Theatre
by Chris Gibson
- Feb 11, 2011
The 1980 movie Nine to Five was a pretty big hit when it came out, and one reason is because it touched a nerve with its tale of three secretaries (Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda and Dolly Parton) who extract revenge from their chauvinistic boss, superbly played by Dabney Coleman, who made a career out of playing the man you love to hate in a number of comedies from that period. And since there are still issues of inequality in the workplace with regards to the salaries and opportunities that are afforded to women (even though there's certainly been some progress made in those areas in the last 30 years), I can see why this material might still seem pertinent enough to launch a stage musical. Even though it runs a bit long, and loses momentum about halfway through, it was obvious to me that most of the audience in attendance found 9 to 5: THE MUSICAL to be a very entertaining show. The current production playing the Fox Theatre is served well by a talented and enthusiastic cast that appears to be having a great deal of fun.

CATCH ME IF YOU CAN Delays Previews by 4 Days
by Robert Diamond
- Jan 31, 2011
Today, lead producers Margo Lion and Hal Luftig announced that previews for the new Broadway musical CATCH ME IF YOU CAN will begin on Friday, March 11, 2011 at The Neil Simon Theatre, 250 W. 52nd Street, rather than on the previously announced Monday, March 7, 2011. The four day postponement is necessary to accommodate the production's load in and technical rehearsal schedule which had been compressed due to the extension of the previous tenant at The Neil Simon Theatre, RAIN - A Tribute To The Beatles on Broadway, and then delayed by the record snowfall that has occurred in New York City. Opening Night will remain on Sunday, April 10, 2011.
