Tacoma Musical Playhouse to Stage 9 TO 5 THE MUSICAL, 5/17-6/9

"Working 9 to 5...what a way to make a living!" Pushed to the boiling point by their boss, three female co-workers (TMP's Sheri Tipton, Cherity Harchis and Brynne Geiszler) concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss (John B. Cooper). They conspire to take control of their company and learn there's nothing they can't do -- even in a man's world.

An hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era, 9 TO 5: The Musical is an outrageous, thought-provoking, and perhaps even a little romantic, musical about teaming up and taking care of business. Based on the 1980 20th Century Fox motion picture, the jubilant score by Dolly Parton and book by Patricia Resnick will take you back to the late 1970s with all of the colorful characters and familiar songs of the hit film.

9 TO 5 runs for only 14 performances from May 17-June 9, 2013. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, and Sundays at 2pm, with extra Saturday matinee performances at 2pm on June 1st and 8th. Performances take place at Tacoma Musical Playhouse, 7116 6th Avenue in Tacoma. All seating for TMP Mainstage and TCMT productions is reserved. TMP expects that many of these performances - especially matinees - will sell out in advance, so advanced purchase is strongly recommended.

Ticket prices are $29 for adults; $27 for seniors, students and military; and the $20 Student Rush price available for all opening weekend performances. Due to mature content, TMP's 9 TO 5 is not recommended for children age 13 and under. Group Rates are available for groups of 10 or more.

All patrons are encouraged to attend TMP's FREE preview presentation, Behind the Curtain! at TMP on Sunday, May 12th at 7 pm to learn more about this production, its history, and to get a sneak peak at performances from the cast.
