9 to 5 - The Musical is a hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era. Based on the hit movie starring Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda, and Lily Tomlin, 9 to 5 tells the story of three unlikely friends who conspire to take control of their company and learn there's nothing they can't do -- even in a man's world. Outrageous, thought-provoking and even a little romantic, 9 to 5 is about teaming up and taking care of business. It's about getting credit and getting even.

9 to 5 has music and lyrics by country superstar Dolly Parton and a book by the co-author of the film, Patricia Resnick. Way Off Broadway’s production will run from March 22 – June 1, 2013 and will be directed by Justin M. Kiska, with choreography by Dee Buchanan and music direction by Jordan B. Stocksdale.
