Royal City Musical Theatre (RCMT) presents the hotly anticipated production of Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5 The Musical, on stage April 25 to May 11, 2025 at the Massey Theatre in New Westminster. A fast-paced feminist adventure in the Rolodex era, three female coworkers dream up an elaborately zany plan to get even with their terrible boss, giving their workplace a dream makeover in the process. “9 to 5 The Musical features the whimsical storyline and charming characters that audiences know and love from the classic 1980 film, with the addition of an entire score of toe-tapping, show-stopping musical numbers by the legendary Dolly Parton – including “9 to 5,” one of the most iconic songs of all time,” says Valerie Easton, Co-Director and RCMT’s Outgoing Artistic Director. Set in 1979, 9 to 5 The Musical follows three co-workers – Violet, Doralee, and Judy – as they endure their mundane and demoralizing office jobs at Consolidated Industries, under the thumb of their sexist and egotistical boss, Franklin Hart Jr. When the women are suddenly given the chance to turn their wildest revenge fantasies into reality, they hatch a plan to kidnap their nasty boss and step into their full potential – ultimately taking control of the company. The play stars returning RCMT alumni Irene Karas Loeper (Violet), Maia Beresford (Doralee), Madeleine Suddaby (Judy), and Dustin Freeland (Franklin Hart Jr.). Dates & Times April 25 to May 11, 2025 April 25, 26, May 1, 2, 3, 8, 9 & 10 at 7:30pm April 26, 27, May 3, 4, 10 & 11 at 2pm
