‘9 to 5’ gets ready to “Shine Like the Sun” on Broadway!
Thursday, April 9th, 2009Scott Slesinger is an intern in the CTG marketing department.
Can you believe it’s been seven months since 9 to 5: The Musical first premiered at the Ahmanson? During it’s Los Angeles run, thousands of theatre-goers (myself included) completely fell in love with the show’s relateable characters, toe-tapping songs, and empowering themes as they watched the classic Dolly Parton movie come to life on stage. I am so excited to see that 9 to 5 has made its way across the country and starts previews on Broadway this week!!
If you’re bummed because you missed the show in LA and thought you’d never have a chance to see it again OR you loved it so much you want to catch it for the second (…or third, or fourth) time, call in sick from work and trek out to New York to catch a performance. With 17 new songs by the fabulous Dolly Parton, PLUS an all-star cast including Allison Janney, Stephanie J. Block, and Megan Hilty (fyi- my favorite Glinda from ‘Wicked’) and fantastic dance numbers, there’s no reason to skip out on this show.
If you’re bored during your own ‘9 to 5′ routine, go ahead and check out the musical’s super-interactive website where you can upload a pic of your boss for a little round of target practice, download a couple of the show’s stellar tunes (for free!), and even send a “doll-ecard” to your coworkers.
9 to 5: The Musical is currently in previews at the Marriott Marquis Theatre and opens on April 30th. We’re so proud of the cast and crew and can’t wait to hear all about their success on Broadway. Click here to purchase tickets.
