Abingdon & Witney College presents 9 to 5, with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton and a book by Patricia Resnick, based on the iconic 1980 hit movie.
Set in the late 1970s, this laugh‑out‑loud story of friendship and sweet revenge in the Rolodex era is outrageous, thought‑provoking and even a little romantic.
Pushed to breaking point, three female co‑workers, Violet, Judy and Doralee, hatch a daring plan to take on their sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical boss. In a hilarious turn of events, they live out their wildest fantasy: giving him the boot! While Hart remains “otherwise engaged”, the women take control, transforming their workplace into a thriving, equal‑opportunity dream.
Packed with toe‑tapping hits, big laughs and a whole lot of heart, 9 to 5 is an empowering feel‑good musical about standing up, breaking barriers and proving that change really is possible.
Hey… a girl can scheme, can’t she?
