9 To 5 The Musical
Background
Let’s tumble outta’ bed and let’s stumble onto Dolly Parton’s rip-roaring musical! Yes, this comes direct from the West End, and it’s as fun as any show you will see this year. And though Dolly won’t be in attendance, you can expect a soundtrack courtesy of the Queen of Country herself! Note that the show includes comedic sexual references, minor drug use and some strong language.
So, this show tells the tale of three workmates who are at boiling point due to their sexist, egotistical boss. What can they do? Well, they decide to kidnap him and take power from within the office. But can they reform the work culture, or will they fall afoul due to the CEO popping by? You must come along to find out, but know that this is about standing up, teaming up and handling business!
Creatives
The director is Jeff Calhoun, while the choreographer is Lisa Stevens. Meanwhile, the original book by Patricia Resnick receives a stage adaptation for this show. Elsewhere, we have Tom Rogers as designer, Howard Hudson as lighting designer, Nina Dunn as video designer and Poti Martin as sound director. Not forgetting Andrew Hilton as the musical director. And of course the music and lyrics come straight from Dolly Parton herself! This UK and Ireland tour comes courtesy of Sellador Worldwide.
Cast
A big-name cast is awaiting further announcements. But when the full list of performers is available, we will let you know!.
Venue
Liverpool’s Empire Theatre is a true mainstay of the city, ever since the venue’s initial opening in 1866. But a demolition of the original Empire would lead to the modern Empire opening in 1924. From there, the Empire would become a focal point for the UK’s top touring theatre shows. Indeed, so many iconic productions regularly come to Liverpool’s Empire Theatre. Furthermore, the list of performers to grace the Empire stage over the years reads like a who’s who. In addition, the Empire’s location is pivotal, with its positioning directly in front of Lime Street Station. The Empire has a total capacity of 2,381, with frequent sell-outs throughout the annual theatre calendar. Simply put, the Empire Theatre is amongst the UK’s top entertainment venues and an ideal backdrop for a classic night of theatre.
Tour
The musical opens at Leeds Grand Theatre from June 21-26 2021, before heading to Sheffield Lyceum Theatre and Theatre Royal Plymouth. Then, the show visits Southend, Wolverhampton, Woking, Manchester, Glasgow, Southampton, Edinburgh, Llandudno, Bristol, London and Nottingham. After that, the tour covers Liverpool’s Empire Theatre from November 2-6 2021. After that, the show hits Sunderland Empire Theatre from November 9-13 2021 before concluding at The Alexandra Birmingham from November 16-20 2021. However, further dates and locations are awaiting confirmation.
