Producers John Frost for Crossroads Live Australia, Suzanne Jones and Ambassador Theatre Group Productions:

Sydney audiences have been flocking to 9 TO 5 and loving the familiar story, Dolly’s wonderful songs and this fantastic cast. Join us for the most fun you’ll have all year!
A sensation on the West End and inspired by the hit film, the musical tells the story of Doralee, Violet and Judy, three enterprising workmates pushed to the edge by their mean-spirited boss Franklin Hart Jnr. Resorting to wit, comradery and cunning, they dream up a no holds barred scheme to kidnap and turn the tables on their controlling supervisor in the most hilariously defiant of ways. The only question is, will the feisty trio manage to change the office culture to reach their full potential – or will events unravel when the CEO pays an unexpected visit?
