Foothill Music Theatre to Present Dolly Parton's 9 TO 5 THE MUSICAL This Spring

Multi-award winning Foothill Music Theatre presents 9 to 5 The Musical, featuring 9-time Grammy Award Winner Dolly Parton's Tony Award-nominated, country music-infused score, running March 1-18, 2018 at the Smithwick Theatre in Los Altos Hills.

Based on the 1980 film of the same name, 9 to 5 The Musical is the story of three working women, eager to bust through the glass ceiling, who team up against their "sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot" of a boss and take care of business. Set in the late 1970s, this romp through the Rolodex Era is a hilarious and empowering story of friendship, love, and women's roles in workplace, relationships, and society.

Aided by a quick-witted book by the movie's screenwriter Patricia Resnick, Variety called 9 to 5 The Musical a "light and lively crowd-pleaser," and The Telegraph hailed it as "a winning mix of feminist indignation, raucous good humour and...genuinely touching moments."

Under the direction of Milissa Carey and musical direction of Dolores Duran-Cefalu, this fantasy of female revenge, while lighthearted, may take on new resonance in today's politically fraught climate.

Performances play March 1 - 18, 2018, with a press opening set for 8pm Friday, March 2. Schedule: Thursdays at 7:30pm; Fridays & Saturdays at 8pm; Sundays at 2pm.
