Dolly’s back!
Top West End stars line up for Dolly Parton’s 9 To 5: The Musical, coming to Theatre Royal Brighton in December
The hilarious new musical comedy, 9 To 5: The Musical, will visit Theatre Royal Brighton from Monday 10 to Saturday 15 December. 9 To 5: The Musical will star Natalie Casey, Jackie Clune, Bonnie Langford, Amy Lennox and Ben Richards.
The show is selling fast, with an extra matinee added on Wednesday to meet high demand, so book now to avoid disappointment.
Based on the hit movie, 9 To 5: The Musical centres on three office workers who turn the tables on their sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot of a boss. They conspire to take control of the company and learn there’s nothing they can’t do. Outrageous, thought-provoking and even a little romantic, 9 To 5: The Musical is about teaming up and taking care of business. It’s feisty, fun and fabulous!
This show features Dolly Parton’s original hit title song, 9 To 5 and another 18 original Dolly Parton numbers, including ‘Backwoods Barbie’, ‘Shine Like The Sun’, ‘Get Out And Stay Out’ and ‘Let Love Grow’.

Dolly Parton said: “I am so excited that 9 To 5: The Musical is coming to Brighton. I’m hoping you have as much fun watching it as I had writing the music for it. 9 To 5: The Musical is perfect for anyone who’s ever wanted to string up their boss, which is almost all of us.
So come join the fun!”
