9 to 5 follows three working women—Violet, Doralee, and Judy—who are pushed to their limits by their sexist and egotistical boss, Franklin Hart Jr. After a series of frustrations, they imagine and then take action on a plan to turn their workplace upside down, creating a more fair and empowering environment. Set in the 1980s office world and featuring music by Dolly Parton, the musical is a comedic and energetic story about friendship, justice, and standing up for yourself.
