I am guessing they have higher aspirations for this, as it makes no sense to stage a Tennessee set Christmas Carol, in Boston, where it has little relevance in terms cash grab Holiday fare. If it goes well, I wouldn't be surprised if its brought in for a run on Broadway next fall. 9 to 5 was a mixed bag, but I will say I still enjoy listening to the score. It felt like a paint by numbers adaptation, but Dolly is arguable one of the greatest living American songwriters/composers on par with Sondheim, although in a different arena.
