“9 TO 5: THE MUSICAL”: As their final show of the 2024 season, Buchholz Players proudly presents “9 to 5: The Musical.” This comedic folly features music and lyrics by Dolly Parton and premieres on the stage at Buchholz High School in late April. As in the film, characters Violet, Doralee and Judy prepare for work in their mundane and hellish office under Franklin Hart Jr., president of Consolidated Industries. In a series of comedic errors, the office team mistakenly poisons their lecherous boss — only to discover that he is just fine, so they kidnap him. Do the gals get justice? You’ll have to come and see “9 to 5: The Musical” at Buchholz High School to find out. This production highlights the often frustrating male-dominated injustice of the working woman’s entry into corporate America in the late ’80s. “9 to 5: The Musical” runs through May 5 with shows at 7 p.m. on May 3-4, and shows at 2 p.m. May 4-5. Tickets are $15 for general admission, $12 for students, $10 for a group rate, and free for BHS faculty. Tickets can be purchased online at buchholzdrama.com.
