Grab a cup of coffee and cue the Dolly Parton soundtrack. “9 to 5: The Musical” is coming to Argenta Contemporary Theatre July 23 through Aug. 3.
Based on the hit 1980 film, this high-energy, feel-good production features original music and lyrics by the iconic country music artist Dolly Parton. The story, originally written by Patricia Resnick, follows three working women who have had enough of their overbearing, misogynistic boss and decide to take matters into their own hands.
With dazzling choreography and powerhouse vocals, this production tells a message that still resonates more than 40 years after the movie premiered. Viewers can expect a lot of laughs, catchy tunes and a fresh reminder to always stand up for what’s right.
Performances will be held at Argenta Contemporary Theatre, located at 405 Main St. in North Little Rock. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show begins at 7:30 p.m. Matinee performances open at 1 p.m. and begin at 2 p.m.
