"9 To 5: The Musical" On Stage At Town & Country Players In Buckingham

BUCKINGHAM, PA — Clock in for a wild ride as Town & Country Players present the toe-tapping, laugh-inducing extravaganza, "9 to 5: The Musical."

This marks a special season for Town & Country Players as it is the first in its 77-year history in which all of its directors and producers are women. What better way to start this female-empowered season than with the feminine charm of “9 to 5: The Musical”?

Directed by Jessica Briggs, with producer Alyssa Moore, and assistant producer Kierney Corliss, "9 to 5: The Musical" is a hilarious and heartwarming tale of three office colleagues who've had enough of their tyrannical boss, Mr. Hart (Benjamin Menahem). Join Judy (Amelia Ball), Violet (Susan Fowler), and Doralee (Cara Cirillo) as they navigate the ups and downs of office life, turning the tables on their despicable boss and transforming their workplace into a more harmonious and empowering environment.

The musical features an irresistible score by Dolly Parton, including the iconic title track "9 to 5." Expect catchy tunes, with musical direction by Sue den Outer, and grooving along with the choreography of Marissa Miller.

The talented cast is ready to deliver a fun performance that will leave you smiling, but also thinking about the roles women play every day. Susan Fowler, who plays Violet, shares a special connection with her character.

“Like her, I too started my professional career as an administrative assistant and was a single mom by that point, and I know personally all too well the struggle to get the business to take you or your ideas seriously when you are in that type of position. Fast forward 20 years, and achieving my MBA, and I am in the executive role now. Having that personal experience colors my portrayal of Violet,” says Fowler.

Cara Cirillo, who plays Doralee, adds, “This story is so relatable and really very timeless. The way the boss treats the employees still happens today and I know so many people can relate to the characters, wanting to take over and make things better at work, wanting to be understood, wanting to belong and be accepted.”

With witty dialogue, hilarious situations, and unforgettable characters, "9 to 5: The Musical" promises an evening of laughter and joy.
