9 to 5 The Musical tells the story of three women pushed to boiling point by their sexist and egotistical boss. Concocting a plan to kidnap and turn the tables on their despicable supervisor, will the ladies manage to reform their office – or will events unravel when the CEO pays an unexpected visit?

9 to 5: The Musical is based on the hugely popular 1980s film of the same name (which starred Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin) with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton herself.
