A MUSICAL showcasing the music of Dolly Parton is heading to Wolverhampton in October.

South Staffs Musical Theatre Company return to Wolverhampton Grand Theatre to present their new production of ‘9 to 5: The Musical’ from Tuesday, October 11 to Saturday 15.

Following on from their hugely successful 2015 production of White Christmas, this new production is based on the hit 1980 comedy movie of the same name.

Outrageous, thought provoking and even a little romantic, the musical centres on three office workers who turn the tables on their sexist boss.

Pushed to the boiling point, co-workers Violet, Judy and Doralee concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss, Franklin Hart.

As the musical develops, the girls live out their wildest fantasy - giving their boss the boot.

Chair of South Staffs Musical Theatre Company, Alison Norton, said: "We are extremely excited and proud to present this Broadway smash hit musical.

"9 To 5 has all the right elements to delight our audiences – great songs, hilarious comedy and characters which we can all relate to.

"The ladies in the audience will be cheering the girls on and the gents will love them for their sassy attitude and glamour.

"It is such an uplifting show with just the right amount of madness and mayhem, as well as promoting girl power!"

The musical, which is directed by Alf Rai, features original numbers from Dolly Parton's film score including the original hit song 9 To 5.

Boss Franklin Hart is played by Simon McGee who meets his match with Doralee, Judy and Violet, who are played by Lexie Bennett, Abbie Rai and Maria Shee respectively.

South Staffs Musical Theatre Company celebrated their 80th anniversary in May 2016.

Tickets to the musical are available by calling the Box Office on 01902 42 92 12 or online at grandtheatre.co.uk.
