BWW Reviews: '9 to 5: THE MUSICAL' national tour opens at TPAC
by Jeffrey Ellis - September 26, 2010

And it's clear - judging from audience reactions during the national touring company's Nashville kick-off at Tennessee Performing Arts Center - that Tennesseans love 'em some 9 to 5: The Musical, the retooled, refashioned and re-imagined theatrical piece based on the 1980 film in which Dolly made her own screen debut.
