ABOUT THE SHOW
Based on the 1980 movie with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton, 9 to 5 finds three unlikely friends, Violet, Doralee, and Judy, stuck in life and stuck in unrewarding jobs.
Their boss, Franklin Hart, Jr., is president of Consolidated Industries, and is also a domineering and lecherous man.
A fantasized poisoning has him threatening to call the police on the women, but they turn the tables on him, tie him up and kidnap him.
Back at the office they institute changes under Hart’s name, improving both morale and productivity — and they also discover some “creative accounting” practices.
Hart escapes and returns to the office ready to take over again when the CEO of Consolidated, impressed by the changes, promotes Violet and ships Hart off to manage the company branch in Bolivia!
9 to 5 has been called a “goofily entertaining crowd-pleaser!”
COVID-19 PROTOCOL

ABOUT THE MAJESTIC THEATER
Locally-produced professional live theater since 1997
Before it was a live theater, local residents may remember the Majestic Theater as a movie house. It has since been renovated and reimagined to bring live performances to the West Springfield area, giving local performance and technical artists the opportunity to thrive. Every season at the Majestic consists of five productions (including at least one musical) featuring local actors. In addition to the subscription season, the summer includes children's theater, concerts, plays, open mic nights, and improvisational comedy shows. Recently named the best place to see live theater in the Pioneer Valley in the Valley Advocate Readers' Poll, the Majestic continues to offer great theater thanks to the support and generosity of its 4200+ subscribers.
