Breaking news: spring musical announced
On Tuesday, Nov. 25, this year’s musical, “9 to 5,” was revealed during the morning announcements.
“9 to 5,” with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton, is a comedy about three women in the workplace, attempting to turn the tables on their bigoted boss. To do so, they seek revenge with rat poison and mechanical harnesses.
“We wanted to do something that was upbeat, contemporary, that provided a lot of dancing and was in contrast to last year’s show,” Janssen said.
Senior Aleeza Leder Macek anticipates an exciting show, filled with even more opportunities than last year’s musical, “Jekyll and Hyde.”
“‘9 to 5′ has a lot of full-cast and ensemble numbers,” Leder Macek said. “”Jekyll and Hyde’ had few all-cast scenes so it wasn’t as fun if you weren’t a lead.”
Audition dates will be released before winter break.
