9 to 5 The Musical

9 to 5 The Musical
Three unlikely friends take control of their office and learn there is nothing they can't do, even in a man's world.

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. Set in the late 1970s. this hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era is outrageous, thought-provoking and even a little romantic.

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?

This high-energy show is ideal for a large, mostly female cast, but also has opportunities for talented male dancers. With its jubilant score and easily relatable characters, 9 to 5 is the perfect show for community theatres.

Music CD? Duration?

When I attended a production of 9 to 5 at a unniversity the music was all on a CD and the actors sang with it. Is that still available as an option for this show or do you need an eleven pc orchestra?

What is the running time of both acts not including an intermission?

Dolly Parton Voiceover

Is it required in the contract that a production uses the voiceover/Dolly Parton projection? Can you do them as audio only? In the Broadway production some of those lines were given to some of the performers and I was wondering if that was allowed.

Is there a Dolly Parton voice over track for 9 to 5 the Musical

Noticing in the script lines for "Dolly", and I'm assuming they are for Dolly Parton.  I remember she had a voice-over track when I saw it in NYC.  Does that track come with the show?  If not, where might I get it?

Thanks,
B.

Using RehearseScore... Tech question
Hello - I've used Rehearse Score for many years and have never had a problem with this. We are currently doing '9 to 5' and there are measures that are optional (Labeled 65A, 65B, 65C, etc.). I am trying to cut them so they never play, as the orchestra will be making the cuts. Within one of them, there is a vamp written in. I am not able to put the cut in, and I suspect that it is because there is a vamp there. I need help cutting it. I tried, and am able to make cuts in other places within the score, just not there. If you want specifics, It's the song 9 to 5, and I'm trying to cut measures 65A - 65D with the vamp being in mms. 65C. Thanks
