Audiences are invited to leave the daily grind behind for a few hours and join the cast some fun with this hilarious tale of friendship, gossip and revenge.

Three unlikely female friends are pushed to boiling point by their sexist, egotistical, lying, bigot of a boss – Franklin Hart, Jr, played by Charlie Sinclair – devise a plan to get even.

The trio – Judy Bernly, played by Sarah Hugh; Doralee Rhodes, played by Ann-Marie Miller; and Violet Newstead played by Monica Holland – take control of the company and learn there’s not very much they can’t do, even in a man’s world.

And that includes harnessing ‘the boss’ and suspending him in mid air.

The musical premiered in Los Angeles back in 2008 before opening on Broadway the following year.

Featuring Dolly Parton’s original hit song, 9 to 5 and many other catchy tunes, this show is guaranteed to have you dancing in your seat and it promises to be a great night out for everyone.
