Mainstage Theatre (UWM Theatre Building) 2400 E. Kenwood Blvd., Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53211
May 2–6, 2018
By Patricia Resnick
Directed by Tony Horne
A story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era, three female office workers concoct a plan to get even with their boss, a “sexist-egotistical-lying-hypocritical-bigot.” In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy, win justice for their fellow workers, and take charge of a company that had kept them down. Based on the seminal 1980 hit movie, Dolly Parton fans will fondly remember the upbeat, blue-collar anthem “9 to 5.” Audiences are probably less familiar with the fact that Milwaukee was the inspiration for this musical, which is based on the founding of the international 9 to 5: Winning Justice for Working Women organization.
