The smash movie hit 9 to 5 is now a musical, and The Willows Theatre has it. The regional premiere of the musical version comes to the Willows mainstage in Concord, May 21 through June 23 with book by Patricia Resnick and music and lyrics by Dolly Parton, including the top-seller "9 to 5."

Eric Inman directs the Willows production, with musical direction by Rachel Robinson and choreography by LaTonya Watts and Isaiah Tyrelle.

Featured in the cast are Elizabeth Palmer* (Violet), Sophia Rose Morris (Doralee), and Jessica Raum* (Judy). Rob Sietelman* plays their nemesis, Franklin Hart.

The 1980 film version starred Jayne Fonda, Dolly Parton and Lily Tomlin, with Dabney Coleman as their "sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot" boss.  Like the film, the stage version is about three working women living out their fantasy of getting even with, and their successful overthrow of, the company's autocratic CEO.  But the stage version is so much more, filled with a dozen new songs and gigantic production numbers.
