9 to 5 The Musical - 9 to 5

All Rights Reserved to Dolly Records
For Entertainment Purposes Only
A reading of the musical was given on January 19, 2007, with a cast including Tracey Ullman, Allison Janney, Megan Hilty, Norm Lewis, Marc Kudisch, Amy Hohn, and a supporting ensemble. A revised draft was tested in a week-long workshop beginning on June 20, 2007, with an industry presentation in New York City on June 28, 2007. The workshop cast included the previously mentioned performers, along with Bebe Neuwirth and Andy Karl
The musical began previews at Center Theatre Group/Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles on September 9, 2008, officially opened on September 20, and ran through October 19. It won two Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Awards, for Parton for Musical Score and for Andy Blankenbuehler for Choreography.
Following the Los Angeles run, a lawsuit was filed by the estate of Colin Higgins, the film's co-screenwriter and director, against Higgins' former attorney, now representing Resnick, for the musical's failure "to secure Mr. Higginss stage rights for the musical project," among other issues.
The musical began previews on Broadway at the Marquis Theatre on April 7, 2009, and officially opened on April 30, 2009.[6] Joe Mantello is the director, with choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler, scenic design by Scott Pask, costume design by William Ivey Long, lighting design by Jules Fisher and Kenneth Posner, and projection design by Peter Nigrini and Peggy Eisenhauer. The opening night cast included Allison Janney, Stephanie J. Block, Megan Hilty, and Marc Kudisch. 9 to 5 closed on September 6, 2009, and a national tour will start in Nashville, Tennessee, in September 2010. The Broadway run of 9 to 5 played 148 performances and 24 previews when it closed.

12 years later after this entire thing came out, I went to see it for the first time and I actually really enjoyed it!!

[@nunnabeezwax9775]

(Judy is given spotlight she looks around nervously) JUDY: dreams and plans are in the making success is out there for the taking...I wish it was as simple as it sounds I swear to you I'm going to do it grit my teeth and I'll get through it It's hard to see the upside when you're down...working nine to five become necessary when my husband, Dick (spotlight immediately points out the Dick in the crowd and ensemble screams his name at the top of their lungs I feel bad for this poor loser) ENSEMBLE: DICK!!!

[@littlezorkie9311]

Nunna Beezwax I see someone’s rehearsing

When Stephanie J. Block comes on, you go "Kill me now." In a good way.

[@hopefulstars6172]

My school is doing 9 to 5 for a musical next school year. I kinda hope I get Doralee, but I kind of want to be Judy because I absolutely loved the song “Dance O’ Death”

[@mothwithahat]

Hopeful Stars i played Judy in my school production. I'm kinda frustrated at dance o death because they cut out "ayayayayayayay" and the verse after it

[@Kyle12krug]
