November 21–24, 2024 @ University of Virginia's College at Wise
Wise, VA–The University of Virginia’s College at Wise Theater Division stages a hilarious story of friendship and revenge during the Rolodex era in their production of Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5 The Musical,” set to open Thursday, Nov. 21.
TheUVA Wise Theater Divisionpresents“9 to 5 The Musical”Nov. 21-23at 7 p.m. and Nov. 24at 2 p.m. on campus in the Gilliam Center for the Arts Black Box Theater.

“9 to 5 The Musical,”with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton and book by Patricia Resnick, is based on the seminal 1980 hit movie. Pushed to the boiling point, three female coworkers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy—giving their boss the boot. While Hart remains "otherwise engaged," the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. Hey, a girl can scheme, can't she?
