9 TO 5: THE MUSICAL Comes to The Citadel Theatre This Month

The end of this month will see the opening of 9 To 5: The Musical based on Dolly Parton's hit movie and title song.

Fans of Dolly Parton will rejoice at this stage adaptation of the comedy-musical hit that won her, her first Academy Award in 1980. Over 40 years later, the story remains just as relevant today and the music just as memorable.

The story is of a group of three downtrodden women working in a 1980's office where their pompous, lecherous boss plagues their everyday lives. But things change when a hypothetical plan to get even with the boss and take over the company, accidentally turns into a reality. With a little ingenuity and compassion, comedic mishaps and fun, catchy tunes, these women prove they can run a company better than any man.

American Screenwriter Patricia Resnick, who also wrote the original screenplay for 9 To 5, brings us this stage adaptation. Rachel Peake, Associate Artistic Director of the Arts Club Theatre Company in Vancouver, who recently directed The Garneau Block, is back at the Citadel to direct this production. Peake has won the Jessie Richardson Award for Outstanding Direction in 2011 and 2017 and for Outstanding Artistic Creation-Direction in 2012 and 2015. She brings her passion and years of experience to this production.

9 To 5: The Musical plays in the Maclab Theatre, April 30 - May 29, 2022. Tickets are available through our Box Office at 780.425.1820 or online at citadeltheatre.com.
