Palisades Charter High School Visual and Performing Arts Department will present performances of “9 to 5 the Musical,” beginning Thursday, March 7, at Mercer Hall.
The show, VAPA’s Spring Musical, features music and lyrics by Dolly Parton, with book by Patricia Resnick. It is based on the 1980 film of the same name.
“Set in the late 1970s, this hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Roledex era is outrageous, thought-provoking and even a little romantic,” read a synopsis on Music Theatre International. “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.”
Performances will take place March 7, 8, 9, 14, 15 and 16 at 7 p.m., as well as March 9 and 16 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10 for students, $17 for general admission and $25 for VIP.
All performances take place at Pali High’s Mercer Hall, located at 15777 Bowdoin Street.
