Review: 9 TO 5 THE MUSICAL at Argenta Contemporary Theatre in North Little Rock
With Music and Lyrics by the Queen herself, Book by Patricia Resnick and Directed by my favorite Caelon Colbert, this production follows closely to the movie, or so I was told by the women sitting in front of me and insisted that I immediately watch the movie (I haven’t, but it is on my list).
