Due to popular demand, tickets for additional performances of Dolly Parton’s smash-hit West End
musical, 9 TO 5 THE MUSICAL, at the Festival Theatre, Adelaide, go on sale this week. Performances
up to 5 November are on pre-sales from today with GP on-sale from Friday 2 September.
Internationally acclaimed and loved by audiences and critics alike, 9 TO 5 is currently in its final weeks in Melbourne playing to capacity audiences before it transfers to Adelaide, after wildly successful seasons in Sydney and Brisbane.
An astonishing top line cast has been assembled to inhabit these iconic and much loved roles.
Marina Prior plays Violet Newstead, a smart, sassy and efficient woman who has worked all her life
at Consolidated Industries. She has all it takes to run the company but there is one small issue … her
boss!
Casey Donovan is Judy Bernly, a newly separated, never worked before young woman who finds more than just a job at Consolidated Industries. Erin Clare plays Doralee Rhodes, a ‘don’t mess with me’ well-brought-up, bright and beautiful country gal. She may look like a push over but is anything but! Caroline O’Connor is busy-body Roz Keith, the administration assistant who is fiercely and unrequitedly – in love with her controlling boss, Franklin Hart Jnr, played by Eddie Perfect.
Completing the cast are Lily Baulderstone (from the Adelaide Hills), Zoe Coppinger, Mia Dabkowski Chandler, Ben Gillespie, Emma Hawthorne, James Haxby, Emma Johns, Jay Johns, Ethan Jones,
Sarah Krndija, Antonia Marr, Josh Mulheran, Tom New, Jake O’Brien, Matthew Prime (from
Westbourne Park), Jackson Reedman, Jordan Tomljenovic (from Blair Athol) and Jessica Vellucci.
“I am so excited that 9 TO 5 is heading to Adelaide,” said Dolly Parton. “I know the Australian fans
will get a real kick out of this musical like people from other parts of the world have!”
Said producer John Frost for Crossroads Live Australia, on behalf of his co-producers Suzanne Jones
and Ambassador Theatre Group Productions, “We’re thrilled that Australia has fallen in love with this
hilarious and joyful show from Superstar Dolly Parton.
With our incredibly talented cast, led by Marina, Casey, Erin, Caroline and Eddie, audiences are having a fantastic time and loving Dolly’s new songs. And now 9 TO 5 is coming to my home town, Adelaide. So stumble out of bed, pour yourself a cup of ambition and join us – it will be 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?
With a sparkling score by Dolly Parton and a book by the iconic movie’s original screenwriter Patricia Resnick, 9 TO 5 is the quintessential feel-good show for the times. Full of mischief, laughter and
affection, it’s gold carat fun!
Set the alarm for a great night out at Dolly Parton’s joyous smash-hit musical 9 TO 5, featuring
