•  9 to 5: the Musical -
Pushed to the boiling point by their boss, three female co-workers concoct a plan to
get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. They
conspire to take control of their company and learn there's nothing they can't do -- even
in a man's world. Set in the late 1970s, 9 TO 5: THE MUSICAL is a hilarious story of
friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era. Outrageous, thought-provoking, and even a
little romantic, 9 TO 5: THE MUSICAL is about teaming up and taking care of business.
