by Dolly Parton & Patricia Resnick
Opening the festival on the Mainstage is 9 TO 5 – THE MUSICAL, a funny and fierce story set in the Rolodex era. With music and lyrics by the one and only Dolly Parton and a script by Patricia Resnick, 9 to 5 – THE MUSICAL is based on the seminal 1980 hit movie. Set in the late 1970s, this hilarious story of friendship, revenge, and female empowerment is outrageous, thought-provoking, and even a little romantic.
