What a way to make a livin’!

Based on the hit 1980 movie, 9 to 5: the Musical, is a hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era.

Pushed to the boiling point, three female coworkers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy – giving their boss the boot! While Hart remains "otherwise engaged," the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. Hey, a girl can scheme, can't she?

Bold, funny and sharp, 9 to 5 is a high-energy celebration of friendship, unexpected calamity, and taking back control, with big laughs and even bigger heart.

Featuring 23 fabulous Hobart performers and a live 12 piece band!
