VIDEO: Watch Highlights of Nazareth College Theatre and Dance Department's 9 TO 5

Nothing screams comedy like a workplace fantasy sequence. The Nazareth College Theatre and Dance Department will take on the stage version of 9 to 5: the Musical, based on the 1980 hit film of the same name, April 21-22 at 7:30pm and April 23 at 2 pm in the Callahan Theatre at the Nazareth College Arts Center.

Check out a first look below!

Set in the late 1970s, 9 to 5 follows three women pushed to their boiling point by their misogynistic, egotistical, bigoted boss, Mr. Hart. Hart embodies workers' wildest fear: an over-powerful boss who takes advantage of the women who work beneath him. With music and lyrics by Dolly Parton,, and book by Patricia Resnik, a pop-country score draw us into a hilarious story that is outrageous, thought-provoking, and even a little romantic.

Leading the production are Emily Mullin (Violet Newstead), Michaela Groth (Doralee Rhodes) and Kit Prelewitz (Judy Bernly) and Abby Swanson (Roz Keith). All were seen in last semester's sold-out run of Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown. Recent School of the Arts graduate Demetrio Alomar will be featured as the hateful Mr. Hart.
