Tony Award-nominated musical written by multi-Grammy Award winner Dolly Parton
An uplifting tale of girl-power and ultimately women's rights
Upbeat, funny, and entertaining, featuring the music of Dolly Parton and based on the 1980 20th Century Fox film. Three secretaries band together after a series of injustices - and an accidental act of retribution - to take down their sexist boss, Franklin Hart Jr. While he is indisposed, the trio runs the company with working conditions that, in 2022, still remain a fantasy for most women: job flexibility, free health care, free daycare, and equal pay.
Advisory: Recommended for ages 12+. This production contains comic sexual references, light drug use, and the occasional curse word. Dolly Parton will not be appearing live in this production.
"...the first Broadway effort of Dolly Parton...funny, true, playful, and poignant in just the right ways." Chicago Sun Times
RUN TIME: Approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes including intermission
