If you're a teen reading this blog and you mention the movie "9 to 5" to your parents, most likely they'll tell you it's a comedy with music by Dolly Parton. Well, guess what kids: they're right!
Now a musical at the Marquis Theatre starring Allison Janney (she's the mom in Juno. Does that ring a bell?) as well as others (the original Christmas Eve from "Avenue Q" is in it!!!) star in this extremely funny and very technical show. Mostly about women's right in 1979, Janney as well as Stephanie J. Block (she played Elphaba in "Wicked") and Megan Hilty (who even played Glinda in "Wicked") kidnap and hold their egotistical boss hostage because he's basically a sexist pig.
The show is filled with tons of jokes and will keep you laughing. Not just that, but the singing voices these women have are amazing! The set design is also fantastic. The production really showcases how technology is changing Broadway.
The show is now in previews but opens next week. To learn more, go to 9to5themusical.com and check out some videos and pictures.
