2025-07-05 20:00, 2025-07-06 14:00 | Surflight Theatre, 201 Engleside Ave., Beach Haven, NJ, 08008, United States
9 to 5, The Musical, with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton and book by Patricia Resnick, is a high energy, jubilant show based on the seminal 1980 hit movie.
Set in the late 1970s, this hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era is outrageous, thought-provoking and even a little romantic.
Pushed to the boiling point, three female coworkers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss.
In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy – giving their boss the boot! While Hart remains “otherwise engaged,” the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down.
Hey, a girl can scheme, can’t she?
