Review: 9 TO 5 THE MUSICAL at Argenta Contemporary Theatre in North Little Rock
by Theresa Bertram - Jul 30, 2025

And they should have seen it. It was comparable to the 1987 Broadway version. I ended up catching the last show of the run on Sunday, February 23, at Staples Auditorium at Hendrix College, and though I thought the audience lacked in energy, the cast pushed on through their wishes like pros.
