Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5 The Musical will play London's Savoy Theatre January 28–August 31, 2019, under the direction of Tony nominee Jeff Calhoun.
The cast will be led by Louise Redknapp as Violet Newstead, Amber Davies as Judy Bernly, Natalie McQueen as Doralee Rhodes, and Brian Conley as Franklin Hart. Tickets will go on sale September 18.
9 to 5 features a book by Patricia Resnick, the 1980 film’s original screenwriter, and an original, Tony-nominated score by country legend Parton (who played Doralee in the film).
The musical tells the story of three workmates pushed to the boiling point by their sexist and egotistical boss. Concocting a plan to kidnap and turn the tables on their despicable supervisor, the women fight to reform their office.
