Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5, based on the hit movie, is a non-stop joyride of love, friendship and what it takes to set your own place at the table. Coming together in the male-dominated office world of the 1970s, three women team up to break through the glass ceiling and run their sexist bully of a boss out of town. But taking things over while their boss is…indisposed might not be as simple as they first thought.

With laugh-out-loud humor, office romance, and a whole lot of heart, 9 to 5 makes getting even a lot of fun. And you’ll be singing Dolly Parton’s unforgettable songs all the way home!
