If you've ever poured yourself a cup of ambition in the morning to be able to face the upcoming 9:00-5:00 workday, Dolly Parton has a paycheck waiting for you at the Majestic Theatre.

If you've ever poured yourself a cup of ambition in the morning to be able to face the upcoming 9:00-5:00 workday, Dolly Parton has a paycheck waiting for you at the Majestic Theatre.

In a recent interview with Larry King, Dolly Parton chatted about her reaction to the negative reviews that her musical, 9 TO 5, received while on Broadway back in 2009.

The producers of 9 to 5: The Musical are pleased to announce the cast for the musical, which runs November 9 - 21, 2010 at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts, located at 800 Bagby (77002).

9 TO 5: THE MUSICAL is a quirky tale of revenge secured through feminist strength with a superb, toe-tapping score by Dolly Parton. After seeing 9 to 5 for myself, I do not understand why the show only lasted only a little more than four months on Broadway. Sure, it was never going to be a Broadway legend, but it has a fresh and original aura that I found to be more fulfilling than expected. If you're on the fence about reserving tickets for this production I encourage you to give it a try and lose yourself for a few hours in Dolly Parton's world.

Make no mistake about it: everybody in Tennessee loves Dolly Parton! She's a Volunteer State treasure, a role model for people all over the world and an example of what hard work and a whole lotta heart can achieve. Hell, if Dolly (in Tennessee, no other modifier is needed to identify our favorite daughter) ran for office, she'd be a shoo-in! 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.
